This pattern is a highlight from the book "More Handcrafts from Kit Harris", published by Landsdowne Press, Sydney in 1980.
The doll sits on her own as she has strong wire inside her that goes all the way up to the head. Most Riot Art and Craft stores now sell a great, soft but sturdy armature wire for this kind of project.

Today I picked up a bunch of craft cards, which were published by Riley McKay Pty Ltd in 1977, from one of the local op shops. The one I'm showing you here is for making a Pom Pom Rug (duh!) I quite like the idea of making a pom pom rug... partially because you could start your own child labour sweatshop to make one of these if you already have a couple of children on hand (the kids already know how to make pom poms, and secondly because i think it would be really nice to walk on. I may start with a cushion given my history of never finishing anything. Clicking on the image will take you to the back of the card.
