After not being able to find one in the shops and not being able to find a pattern I just decided to crochet one myself.

Don't you stress yourself, monkey! Just take your time! I should be seeing squonk soon and I'll ask her when DS's birthday is. In fact I shall post a message for her now

I made a lovely doll once, she took ages and a lot of love and attention. My family thought I was mad, but I was so proud of my first attempt. I would show you but I am shy and scared of what you all might think, I'm not a pro you see. Will you all be kind?

No, please, YOUR Boo doll is just lovely! I'm afraid mine doesn't live up to the mark, I'm having second thoughts about showing you now, you are obviously very very good.
