My nephews upsy daisy looks AWFUL like really really bad i HATE her Sad

Its something about the face I think but ive redone it twice already Sad

Im gonna be brave & put up photos for advice later but at present cant "face" her Sad

Part of me thinks it doesnt matter as its for a 3 year old & he wont care BUT the knitting perfectionist in me wants to do it right (or as good as i can) or bin it SIGH

Well it has just come on the TV and I think she looks great! Smile

The only difference I can see is that Upsy Daisy has eyelids which the googly eyes don't and maybe her hair curls forward a bit more, but other than that she looks great! Max recognised her! Smile

You've put so much detail into her! Have you done them all and where did you get the pattern? I'd love to knit one for Max! Smile
