How does the doll I am knitting stand up, you ask? Extremely well! I am shocked at how well it stands and keeps its balance, even knowing that the skirt acts like the sides of a trimaran.

Needles: US 5 (3.75 mm) DPNs, US 7 (4.5mm) 16-inch circular
Yarn: Knit Picks Brava in Almond, Black, and Currant, plus assorted acrylic worsted scraps
Pattern: Susan B. Anderson's Top-Down Seamless Petticoat Dolls, from her book Topsy-Turvy Inside-Out Knit Toys, although my copy was included in issue 120 of Simply Knitting in the UK, and is just called Topsy-Turvy Doll
And because I know someone will want to see exactly how it works, here is a photo of the joining:
And here is the photo I drew on before making the face, which was exceedingly helpful in placing the stitches:

Doll 1 looks like ECS.
Doll 2 looks like FES.
