Happy Saturday All! Been busy with work and getting videos & pattern ready for week 2 of our Free Doll CAL! I totally spaced and forgot to add the Videos for week 1 so I’ll be posting them here for you! I also created a playlist for Faye on my YouTube Channel!
I’ve had some questions about the Tulip Hook 2.5mm that I’m using for this doll. First time I’ve used this Brand and I have to say I really LOVE it! I only bought the one hook but may just have to buy the set. Hmmmm……isn’t Mother’s Day tomorrow? Anyway…I love my Clover Amour but am also a huge fan of the Tulip Brand also. Can one have to many hooks? Besides they are super comfy and I know I crochet longer before having to put down to give my fingers a rest. In the video I also share about the bent tip needles I used and have to say they are great for not just Doll Making but any project!
***Edited to Add the Pattern for Week 2 which is the Faye Dress & Shoes CAL sorry about that!
