So I did it! I crocheted my first doll wig cap! All by myself, yay! Okay, I got help from this video and this other one and that awesome tutorial/pattern. And now I'm at the point of attaching hair to it... Pretty time consuming, but it looks so great already :) I'm using yarn I found in a store here, the most natural I could find... So it's 70% acrylic/30% alpaca. Once attached, I separate the two plies, which makes super soft curls :) Now I need to buy pink thread to make this little boy a body!
And the book behind? It's The Knitting Experience Book 1: The knit stitch by Sally Mellville. It has beginner project with lots of explanation on what to use to do what. Very great! I got it this holiday. Apparently I kept saying I wanted to learn! hehe!
Looks great- welcome to the world of knitting!!

ReplyDeletebeautiful doll - I love the hair! :)
ReplyDeleteHey, you're well on your way to Goal #1! It does make me sad, though, that the most natural yarn you can find in your town is 70% acrylic!
