I finished my first proper waldorf doll!
Not the best photo I'm afraid, but here she is-
Since she was for my youngest's first birthday, she has a lovely soft bamboo velour body, with just the head & upper torso fully formed under her 'clothes'. In the traditional waldorf style she is made from 100% natural fibres - cotton stretch skin fabric, the bamboo velour, carded wool fleece for stuffing, and a strange but very cool feeling wool/soy blend yarn for her (immense amount of) hair!
I knit her a little dress to wear, and crocheted a blanket too, which I haven't got a photo of yet.
I'm rather pleased with how she came out, except that the velour has a tendency to 'wick' the stuffing out :(
I'm working on a second one now, for our kindergarten's gigantic Advent Fair!

She is gorgeous Nova!! You are so talented.
aww thanks :) i'm still learning really!!
she looks gorgeous, yes i learnt the hard way too that velour needs to be lined to stop stuffing coming out. I use a cotton knit to line.
