I made this little knitted doll back in 2013, you can read a bit about her on one of my original blogs here: Delphine, the Travelling Doll, not that she has actually travelled anywhere! Unless you count a puppies mouth! Yes unfortunately she got chewed, but fortunately it was just her hair that was damaged, which can be replaced, oh and she lost a shoe!
Yesterday I set about replacing her hair. I thought I'd try a completely different style, but we both decided she didn't like it!
So out it came this morning and I redid it as close to the original style as I could.
We both agreed that it is what we are happy with. Sometimes change isn't good, especially if it is too much of a change. Perhaps I will knit another doll to use this hair with, one that has a more hippy/free nature spirit character about her.
I also knitted her new shoes - this time purple glitter shoes. She likes them very much. I have no idea what happened to her original clothes, apart from the purple dress which she is still wearing. I will have to see if I can find the skirt and top.
Delphine is quite happy with her new hair now!
What a cutie Delphine is. The next time you go somewhere, you will need to put her in your suitcase so she can see a bit of the world.
