It's here, it's here!

I ordered it Sunday night, and my Weir doll kit has arrived (along with the extra yarn for hair I ordered). You see that peachy fabric? That's supposed to be the skin. It's very peach. I'm wondering if it'll be less so after it's stuffed?

 And right after my local postal worker dropped it off, the UPS man arrived with my yarn from WEBS' anniversary sale order from a few weeks ago:

 Believe it or not, all four skeins of the Noro Silk Garden Sock (S324: pink, purple and green) are the same color and dye lot. And six skeins each of the Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool (six in 106-Blackcurrant, and six in 79-Thundercloud).

It feels like Christmas! Sadly, I'm still working on a cardigan for the yet-to-be-made doll, and then I'll be busy making the doll, so I suspect sweater-knitting will be on the back burner for awhile. A lot of the time when I order from WEBS, the color on the screen totally does not match what arrives. This doesn't happen with any other vendor, just WEBS, so I always double-check colors on other sites. But all of the yarn colors look nice and flattering and I can't wait to knit the sweaters. And make the doll.

I wasn't sure if I should go for this kit because I learned that there was such a thing as a button-jointed doll, but it seemed like way more work and skill than I was capable of, and I don't have that much time, so a kit with a pre-made head and pre-sewn limbs is the way to go for me. The kit even comes with doll clothing patterns! I don't know how to sew, but maybe I will learn now.
