[Nfb-krafters-korner] KuKu dolls

[Rovig, Lorraine]

I just took a look at the photo of a batch of Kuku dolls on their
Website and can tell you those dolls are cute and cuddly looking. They
look more like real kids than cartoons, which I like.  This is a great
gift to make for any child that likes a soft doll.  If you get into it,
you could make a whole family, a whole neighborhood even.  They can be
quite varied just by using different colors of yarn for different races,
and making changes in "clothes" and in facial features.

"The concept of the hierarchy of sight-that is, the notion that the
level to which a blind person can be competent and successful rises or
falls in direct proportion to the amount of vision he or she has-is
nothing more than a myth and is completely false." --Dr. Kenneth
Jernigan

I ran a search for Kuku dolls in ravelry and found there web site.
Below is 
the link and if you click on the "about us" link they explain their
business 
and might give you some idea what the dolls are like.  They sound cute
... 
This is the first I remember hearing about them.  On the web site, they 
mention an upcoming DVD, which will be presented by Lucy Neatby who I
know 
is a really good aran sweater designer!  If lucy is connected with them
I 
would think they are very good designs.
