Knitted Lily Doll

The oddest thing happened with one of my knitted doll designs…..
One of my most favorite designs is for a doll I named Lily.
The pattern for Lily sold really well. I kept having to reprint her, but then a strange thing happened. The masters for the pattern simply disappeared! pooft!
Vanished.
I ripped the studio apart…. no Lily masters.
So, sadly, I took her down off my website.
As I was working on the Elspeth and friends dolls
and then Esperanza, I thought: I have GOT to find the Lily masters!
Well! I tore the studio apart looking for the masters.
No joy.
I looked for the Lily doll. Couldn’t find her.
I gave up.
Then, all of a sudden, when I was working on Esperanza, I discovered that I still had the ‘pre-masters’ for Lily!
I was THRILLED!
AND then! Even better… I found the Lily Doll!
BUT! poor baby! She’s had an adventure.
Actually…. it looks like more of a mis-adventure! Boy, talk about indigestion~!
Something has eaten her tummy! Poor Lily!
I’ll need to knit a new patch of tummy and applique it over her frazzlie bits.
Ah, frazzlies. It happens to all of us….. now and then.
I think I’ll park a teddy over the boo boo for now, and let him do his comfort work. ……
I’m working on the new pdf for Lily, so people who’ve been wanting to order the pattern will be able to, really soon…..

Poor Lily–her boo boo looks really painful–glad mr bear is there to give her some much needed comfort. By the way Esperanza is a beauty–just looking at her makes me smile.
Thank you so much, Kesam! Poor Lily… I think her tummy troubles are a sore trial for her….. I shall have to do something about it!
