Day of the Dead - Free Doll Knitting Pattern

As today is day of the dead (or all souls day) here, I thought you might appreciate this Day of the Dead doll knitting pattern to have a go at from Knit1 Magazine. I'm just learning to knit, so I don't think that I'm ready to give it a go yet. If you try it though, I'd love to see the results and even feature them in the blog if you're brave enough :)

Crochet a cute angel doll - free pattern!

Apparently today is the feast of the guardian angels in Catholic tradition, I was looking for some cute crafts to share with my little girl and happened across this very adorable crochet angel pattern. I have no clue how to crochet so it's no use to me (I'll have to get my talented brother to teach me!). I thought someone else might be able to use it :)
