Hi
Well I am like everyone else here and have way too many projects on the
go but right now I am working on something that is a lot of fun. I am
working on Izzy Dolls that will be spent overseas and given to children
by Canadian soliders.
I have just started this project but know that it is going to make some
children smile and it's also a fun way to use up the odds and ends of
yarn that I have.
Take care
Darlene

I googled "izzy dolls" which led me to the most interesting story and
patterns for knitted and crocheted dolls. It seems an admirable effort. I
would point out only that in the photos the most of the sample dolls all
have very white faces and those that have hair have blonde yarn braids.
Unless the appointed solder is serving on the front lines in Sweden, it
would seem that different colors for hair and skin would be appropriate.
Also, little Muslim girls don't wear slacks and might be very embarassed to
have a doll that does. With those small considertions, it still seems an
admirable project.

Daisy , some nuslim girls do wear pants , but they wear skirts and
dresses over the pants, thus all Darlene has to do is elongate the
shirts , as to color of skin and hair , they can stay any color you
want . You might add a little headscarf.

That would be very sweet and not all that hard to do.

Hi
I understand your point and these were some dolls that were made by
others.
I understand the differences in people and have already choice a
different colour of yarn for the heads. I have also picked up some
lace and other materials for skirts for some of the dolls. Also the
hair would not be blonde if I made thm anyway.

PS. We do have a couple of blonde hair (Albino) Muslins that live in
our apartment building and the little girl does wear pants.
