The ultimate Raggedy Ann site. I've bought the pattern and some fabric but I've yet to actually start making the dolls. I have mine up here by the desk. My Mom made her with grey hair. Even she wonders why she did that now. It was what she had around then, but grey?!! It does make her pretty unique among Raggedy Ann's. All the popular dolls have red hair of some shade.

I think Raggedy Ann is the US attempt at our Canadian Anne of Green Gables. Of course there is Pippi Longstocking too. I'm not sure if she isn't English though. Odd how all three of my favourite fictional characters are all red heads. I'm not, my hair is a lovely shade of brown, chestnut. My little sister is a redhead but she just isn't someone you could picture as the Anne/ Ann type. Though we did call her Orphan Annie when she was a kid. Her hair was out of control back then, just too darn curly. Cute though. :)
