Izzy Dolls for Children in Crisis Zones

Twelve dolls personally delivered as part of a care package to an orphanage in Mexico. Beautiful work, and wonderful generousity Thank you, Susan!

Thank you so much, Jenn!

Did you know ... HPIC uses Izzy Dolls in place of packing styrofoam in its Humanitarian Medical Kits for Primary Care? Twelve Izzy Dolls fit into each kit. So, Izzy Dolls do double duty via HPIC! https://www.hpicanada.ca/izzy-dolls/... (You can also download Izzy Doll patterns from this link.)

Thank you, Dianne Popcock and the Carrol Place knitting group! Your dolls look amazing!!

Exciting news! Shirley O'Connell to receive the Governor General's Sovereign's Medal for Volunteers! Shirley has helped to distribute over 1.5 MILLION Izzy Dolls across the globe. As well as giving Shirley the applause she so richly deserves, all of you crafters should take a deep bow for helping her make this happen. This amazing project would not have been possible without you Thank you, Shirley, and thank you, amazing crafters, for the generousity of your time and effort... Kim

Are you in the Ottawa area? MFRC-NCR is holding its annual Izzy Doll Workshop tomorrow!

Think you can't make an Izzy Doll? Cathern Harrison Drury shows us how easy they are to knit and construct. If you can do stockinette stitch (knit a row, purl a row, repeat) and basic sewing, you can make an Izzy Doll! They are great projects for beginning knitters Thank you, Cathern!
