9 Crochet Doll
Ok I am still on my crochet hiatus but I had to crochet this 9 doll. This is from Tim Burton & Timur Bekmambetov's movie 9. I saw the movie and fell in love. At first I made 9 without a black mouth and then my daughter told me to give him a black mouth. I think it looks good both ways. I can't decide which I like better :) He was defiantly a challenge. IF I post a pattern it will be a little while. It is kind of complicated. I had to take lots of pics along the way. What do you think?
