Emily
I saw this knit doll about 4 years ago and fell in love with it.
I wanted one so terribly for my own daughters that I found the pattern for it, and taught myself how to knit.
I was only able to work on it at odd times, like on long drives, when my children were in bed, and so forth.
She often was a project set aside because so many other things took priority.
I started on her when Millie was a few months old. The pattern is called "Emily" and it seemed fitting because that is Millie's name.
Not to mention, Millie is obsessed with babies.
Here she is - finally completed! (Well, I still have to make a flower for her hat, but I'm still declaring her finished.) It took me just under 3 years and I'm happy to report that Millie loves her too.
