Waldorf doll, FO (or, a re-cap)

The story in pictures:

The box the Weir kit came in:

 And everything in the box (the kit plus two extra skeins of yarn):

 Stuffed, the arms don't look as peachy as the head and body/legs:

 Everything stuffed and pinned:

Pulling the fabric back to make the face smooth:

Makes it look like Frankendoll from the back:

The head and arms sewn to the body, with pins for where I think I'll put the eyes and mouth:

The wig cap:

My doll's face:

With the crochet wig cap sewn onto the head, I've started attaching the three colors of yarn for the hair:

 And pulled into pig tails, it looks like this:

Now she needs a name and clothes. Sadly, Itty Bitty isn't sure what to name her either (it's her doll, after all, so she gets the honor), and I don't know how to sew, so I'm not sure what will be done for clothing, although she has two doll's sweaters now! She's due in class in two weeks though, so hopefully it's figured out before then.

My final thoughts: for my first doll, I'm glad I ordered the kit and I'm also glad I ordered the parts pre-sewn and with a pre-made head, which simplified things quite a bit. While the lightest skin color was abhorrently peachy in the kit, after the doll was stuffed she looked way better so I didn't need to freak out, in retrospect. I mostly used this flickr tutorial by toureasy47201 for the hair, and Ashetebeulah's tutorials for the eyes and mouth. I wish I had made the hair quite a bit longer (I started with 16" strands, and with a lark's head knot, was supposed to be ~8" long). That was more or less fine for the back/bottom of the head, but as I got to the top, I lengthened the strands to 32" (for 16"-length hair) and it still didn't seem long enough, so when I have the stamina, I may try redoing the hair.

I also plan on rouging the doll's cheeks with a Crayola crayon; I read somewhere that you can buy a special wax crayon for it, but my local crafts stores are pretty skimpy on doll making supplies and I think the regular crayon will suffice.

Also, I messed up on one of the eyes. I initially thought I was supposed to keep going through the head for every stroke, rather than poking through the head with the doll's needle, then changing to a ball point needle and kind of doing the eye all right then and there, and then switching back to the long doll's needle to get to the back of the head and make the knot (at least that's how I ended up doing it). And luckily, the crocheting for the wig cap was super easy, even for a non-crocheter such as myself. I enjoyed the process enough that I may someday make myself a doll.
