*shrugs* i know nothing about what we are doing XD i am a tree!

[Den]

Dollmaking is fun.

[littl3chocobo]

it can be, yeah ^^ of course i've only made tiny 1/20th scale dolls but even so

how is yours coming?

[Den]

the head is getting there. I have to stop occasionally to pop my knuckles and stretch my hands, because I'm working with tiny needles and my hands start hurting after awhile.

[littl3chocobo]

what is the gauge?

[Den]

I'm using US 2 needles, with Red Heart Super Saver.

[littl3chocobo]

ah, thankyou

[Den]

to be fair, I've worked with smaller gauge needles and thinner yarn before, and with bigger needles and thicker yarn, and have had to do the same thing with breaks and popping knuckles and stretching my hands. Same with when I draw.

[littl3chocobo]

well of course, it is the same motion even if it isn't always the same speed to completion

[Den]

Yeah. that's why it's important to take breaks.

[littl3chocobo]

noone needs cramps X''D

[Den]

or carpel tunnel flareups.

[littl3chocobo]

or crab hands(unless you are like a crab or sommat. then crab hands work)

[Den]

only thing I don't like about this pattern is that it utilizes the "Big Head, Small Body" look for dolls, which I'm not terribly fond of... but that's a personal preference

[littl3chocobo]

well, is it too late to adjust the stitches?

[Den]

that'd involve a lot of undoing and I don't feel like it.
