I'm not a terribly skilled crocheter, but I've previously made a blanket like the one that one of the characters in True Blood has, for a raffle prize at an event. In the process of making another one of those, and having a go at making a hat/beanie. Would love to learn to do something a bit more difficult, but I think I'll probably stick with blankets and hats should this one turn out.

Jewel, that doll is so gorgeous!
Which true blood character? That's be awesome to make! Way to go!
Good luck with your hat/beanie making. Once you do one or two you know what's going on and they get easier ( well I think they do)
