Comfort Dolls
Over the weekend I decided to do some knitting. I didn't want to start a big project, and had kept this page bookmarked for some time. This organization sends medicine to developing countries and, instead of stuffing the box with styrofoam, they put in handmade dolls. How awesome, right?! So I looked up the pattern and cast on:
Gaahhh cuteness! They've made the pattern very simple, to encourage knitters of all levels to help out. I love how it looks like his hands are in his pockets. He looked lonely so I made him some friends:
I gave the girls pigtails and skirts instead of pants. (I will write out the modifications for them and see if anyone wants them.) I'm going to try and make a whole bunch and send them over in time for Christmas - it will give me warm, fuzzy, happy feelings, just in time for the holidays.

What a wonderful idea! Imagine opening up a box full of these cuties instead of styrofoam. Fantastic!
