pattern is up
doll pattern now available here and in a permanent link from the sidebar (disclaimer: proofread, but not tested!).
i made more of an effort to document my process this time, although i wonder whether the amount of detail is more confusing than enlightening. i wouldn’t advise looking too closely at the pictures as an aid to interpreting the pattern or you may notice a few discrepancies. e.g. where the legs don’t match because my gauge changed so dramatically that matching them row for row would have left one significantly longer than the other. or when i say i worked in spirals for the solid parts, when actually i did in some places and not in others and you can see the difference between the row-worked and spiral-worked parts easily 
i would have included detail shots of her shoes but we’ve managed to lose one on the other side of the country already 
hence the number of shots of her in her undies (that and the fact i don’t have a pattern for the dress anyway).
oh and she has been rechristened, permanently this time i think, as boo.

Ooh, thank you, thank you, thank you! Just in time for the week-end too. It must have been a lot of work to write all this down.

Excellent pattern- my daughter has already requested one, and I’m sure the other one will as soon as she sees the pictures!!

i mailed you randi, but for reference:
i knotted 4 strands at the end and threaded 2 strands together through alternate holes in the fabric. along the hairline where it’s most visible i threaded a single strand through every hole and i prefer the look of this and would do it like this all over next time. yes, it is a lot of work!

Thank you so much for sharing this lovely pattern! I made one as my first “amigurumi” and it came out beautiful: http://www.flickr.com/photos/54957455@N00/2430551278/
I’m giving it to my niece (http://www.flickr.com/photos/54957455@N00/2416320363/) for her birthday next month.
The hair is just a chain, then sc back to beginning (ever notice how the first row of sc on a chain tries to curl? ;). I threaded the two tails through two holes in the head. Because they end up so thick, I used few at the sides and back, just enough to look full, and more along the front hairline.
