Anything Knitted and Crocheted: Childbirth Education Doll PATTERN

Anything Knitted and Crocheted

Welcome to my blog. I hope to blog about my knitting and crocheting as well as everyday life. The patterns that I post are original and as such there is copyright on them. When they are based on another pattern there is a link to the pattern.

My husband and I adopted a beautiful dog named Leo. He is a dachshund and absolutely adorable! we adopted him on June 23, 2010 and he has become the love of our lives.

I love to share patterns that I find along the way or to talk about some of the neatest designers that are out there today, so I love to post links to the designs or the designers.

So grab a cup a and sit and enjoy the blog.

Childbirth Education Doll PATTERN

This is so coooool! You can find her at cozycoleman's etsy shop. I finally ordered the pattern. I have a friend who is having a baby and I though that this would be cool to give her. Her daughter is now 10. You gotta take a look on her site. I do have the chess set as well, which is very realistic and easy to crochet.

Here are some pics from the site:

Description

from the site:

This award winning doll received both "Most Creative" at the 2006 Foster Old Home Days fair, Foster, RI and "Best in Show" at the 2006 Woodstock Fair, Woodstock, CT.

She is anatomically correct, as is her newborn son! Her embellishments include a wedding ring, earrings and necklace and her son has a tiny belly button, made with a real button to which the umbilical cord attaches.

She makes a great addition to any midwifery practice, or for any birth professional that works with siblings.

Note: The doll is available for sale. THIS LISTING IS FOR THE PATTERN ONLY.

The pattern is for the experienced crocheter and includes all information for making the Mama and baby (with detachable placenta and umbilical cord) as well as the maternity clothes for the Mama. Suggestions for embellishment are included.

Finished doll measures approximately 15" and the baby approximately 4.5"

Go check it out! You know you wannna!

The “Proselytize Knitting” Badge

The “Proselytize Knitting” Badge - A requirement for all Knitting Scouts, the recipient must do his or her bit to present knitting in a positive light, whilst at the same time avoiding all references to “hipness”, grandmothers, and yoga.

I’m always doing my part in this arena whether it’s spoken or written like in this blog. I teach at my local community league, which was a fluke. I am involved in the Alberta Avenue Initiative and was asked to teach both knitting and crochet. I start with dishcloths as it gives the basics.

The “MacGyver” Badge (Level One) - The recipient must demonstrate clever use of a non-knitting tool in a knitting-related scenario. For instance, recipient has used paper clips as stitch markers, or successfully whittled and then utilized bamboo skewers as dpns.

I’ve used all kinds of things as stitch markers when none were available, and have found clever ways of knitting cables without cable needles using skewers.
