The forum I am on had a challenge to create an "art doll" but this was a very loose challenge, and I decided to knit mine. I have been inspired by the knitted babes, but I don't have this book (yet), so this doll (named abbey by her new owner) was my design. I made her using what I like to call "instinctive knitting" otherwise known as "making it up as I go along" I have no pattern for her so even if I tried to make another one, it would not be the same.
anyway, I was really pleased with her and I had a fun time taking pictures of her!
she now lives HERE

Your doll is fab! I have the knitted babes book and made my sister and I in knit form a while back. Yours looks very much like the style so well done for "doing it blindfold" (as it were!)
