The only beads on this dolly are in her eyes! Yes I have taken a vacation from beading by crocheting and this week I made this dolly. I have been using the tutorials in YouTube and have found them very helpful and inspiring. I have found I can crochet with only 1/2 looking (mostly by feel) which is a lovely switch from pressing my nose against a needle and beads.
My foot is finally completely healed. My new fear of bead needles could be part of my resistance to beading. Also the dark weather helps make me grab for yarn instead of beads. The big question now is whether I make a new dolly. I am surprised that of all the things I crocheted in the last month it is the dolly I wanted to show you.
