"Garland revolutionizes the entire notion of knitted dolls, creating a simple knitted girl doll form that lends itself to as many different personalities as there are people on this planet . . . The book won't be out until the end of September, but I suspect its first print run will sell out quickly." [More]Knitter's Review

"This book rocks the extras. Each doll's personality is born through a whole range of faces and entire wardrobes both knit and sewn. It's fun and it's all for you, really."

You won’t be able to resist these knitted “retro rag dolls”—Dot Pebbles, Bunny Bright, Flo Tilly, DD Diva, or Rudy Ranch. Each comes with a wardrobe to make of handknit and handsewn trendy clothes. In this truly simple and easy-to-use technique book, knitters only need to know how to knit and purl; the practical knitting and sewing know-how section illustrates the simple stitches used to whip them up. Sewing templates to photocopy and use are included, along with knitting charts and advice on washing and caring for these dolls. The 130 fun photographs and the five sections devoted to creating each doll’s identity and her fun clothes and accessories make this a book to treasure.
