Ruff The Ami Pup!

My little brother proclaims ruff to be "perfectly huggable!"

   Yay! My first free pattern! Ruff is a fairly simple doll to make,even beginners will be able to make this puppy. I made him out of worsted weight yarn, safety eyes, and a snap on nose. My little brother adopted him and is the one who named him Ruff. :)  

This is the exact pattern I used to make the original pup so there shouldn't be any problems, but if you find one, or need help with the pattern, feel free to leave me a comment  and I will help you in any way I can!

First Doll Of The New Year!!

Hooray its 2011!! And to commemorate the new year I made a new doll pattern! This doll turned out really big. She's nearly 18" tall! I tried to give her manga/anime - ish eyes and I think they turned out ok for my first attempt. Eyes are a lot easier to draw then to make!

I'm not very good at making doll clothes, but I was able to make this dolls clothes removable.

I am considering adding some free patterns to my blog, But I have not thought of what kind of doll I would make a pattern for. If any body has any ideas of what kind of free pattern you would like, I would love to hear them ! :)  I never thought I would get 15 followers so quick, Thanks guys! ^_^
