A Voodoo Lady Named Marie LaFaux

According to Papa Jim's Spell Book #3, to use a voodoo doll for the purposes of revenge involves a black doll, parchment paper, reversible oil, valerian herb, vetiver herb, black cloth and 9 black pins. Oh, and some ritual stuff and the ability to follow through.

I have none of the above (except the spell book).

What do have, however, is a love of knitting and plenty of cream colored yarn! (And hate. Ohhhh, the hate.)

I basically just used the pattern for "Oddfellow" from "Unusual Toys for You to Knit and Enjoy" because, well, it's fast (see above re: follow through). I'm worried that the voodoo doll is a little too, uh, cute. It's pretty cute, isn't it? Not exactly the tool of retaliation and animus I had been going for. Oh well.

Here's the money shot:

Hi Kim!
It's Poppy from over at Superstarra-ville. I'm glad that I didn't get the voodoo doll job...I don't think that I could handle being called a yeti bitch.

Besides that, I find your doll slightly disturbing...especially the different leg lengths. SCARY!!!

I hope it's not bad knitter-mojo to use blocking pins after having stabbed the yeti-bitch's heart with them.... Maybe you should sacrifice a chicken just in case.

That's such a great vodoo doll. Some friends made one (cartoon, not knitted) for a boss years back... said boss left not long after. So they work :)

Love the eyebrows

That is hilarious. Now hang it from a string in her office. Tip: Don't let anyone see you do it.
