Description Ahhh look at that wild hair! I'm glad I had the perfect color for it at home as it's hard to get but it was much so straight. So I knitted it, boiled it and ripped it open and voilΓ‘--wavy hair...ehm yarn.
As you can tell, I had a lot of fun with this one.
The only thing that gets on my nerve here is that the color of Merida's dress looks so totally different, much more greenish in real than in this photo. =/

That hair is perfect!

I didn't know you could boil the yarn to make it stay wavy. I thought you just had to knit it and wait forever...I guess you learn something new everyday.

Thank you so much!

I work a lot with hot water. To straighten doll legs (you won't believe how bow legged some dolls arrive here ) and doll hair. I used the same method for Lalaloopsy girls hair. So I just thought if I could straighten something with hot water I might make something curly with it too.

She looks great! My first project back into crochet/knitting after my horribly long break is to remake my first doll. I've redone her face and am now giving her a very "edgy" hairstyle. (purple and pink, very curly, with one side shaved short) She'll be my project in between commissions.

I've done this too! I remade one of my first dolls, Duo Maxwell, a year or two after making the first one. The difference was amazing! I'm so excited for your comparison photos and how you're going to make the shaved side.

I've gotten a little sidetracked from that doll. Hopefully I'll be able to work on her some more in the next couple weeks!

That's okay. Sometimes you just leaf a project and come back to it with fresh spirits later.
