First dolly attempt

In preparation to see my very first grandbaby, I've made a version of a "towel doll" -- not using a pattern, but following instructions to make a Waldorf doll head. The doll was designed using scraps of family history:

 Sweatshirt of my dad's, 
cut into strips and rolled into a ball for the head
 Turtleneck of my dad's, cut into a square 
and wrapped around the ball, then tied to make a neck
 Pink bandanna I used to wear when gardening
 Leftover yarn from other projects

Here is the result, a first-ever doll, and a labor of love:





Think she will like it?
