[Tam I am]

Strip dolls are knit like a scarf. You start with a narrow strip for one leg, and then you do the next leg on the same needles. Once you have them the same length, you join them and knit the wider body piece, changing colour when you get to the hair area. Once you're done that, you go back to body colour, finish the body, then go back to making legs. Cast that off and sew the doll around the edges and stuff, and then make two strips to double and sew around the edges for arms. You can also do colour changes to show clothes, instead of making a nudie dolly to make removable clothes for. It's a great way to do things like practising stockinette stitch and such.

Ooops.

LOL! You like sea animals, huh? So does that friend who crochets and whose husband helps.
