Christmas gifts revealed
The last of the Christmas knits have finally been gifted, which means I can now write (ahem, brag) about them. I was especially thrilled with my grand-nephew's Voodoo Joker doll. Although my grand-niece's Barbie clothes are pretty sweet too, especially the sweater, which I made up as I went. The pattern is Voodoo you love me? by Susan Claudino and is available on Ravelry. I made no modifications to the pattern itself, other than switching up coloring. I was heavily inspired for the pants and vest by another Raveler who I credited on my project page. The tie and vest were a matter of trial and error. The face took quite a bit of working to get just right. I didn't want anything too scary so I went off the Lego version of The Joker. The hair is randomly knotted on and took me freaking forever! Hahaha. I did my best to take notes as I went and left details on my Ravelry project page. I couldn't find a pattern I liked for the sweater so I heavily adapted an ornament pattern
