We would, of course, love the Isabelly doll, as that is what we often call Isabella. She would be so happy to have her very own namesake doll. Very cute dolls, both!

Since my precious Mama was named Isabel, I would prefer Isabelly. Especially since Mama had the belly thing going! It drove her nuts that no matter what diet she tried her little belly never would completely go away!

I would love to be the winner of "Isabelly". We are collecting fairy type dolls for my grand-daughter and this would fit right in.

These are so cute!!I love both dolls. Probably the purple one a bit more, because that is my favourite colour;)
Posted by: Mara | August 31, 2011 at 09:56 AM
This is the first time I've ever seen these dolls. Where have I been.....I would be excited just to have one of the dolls, I'm not picky. Awesome.
Posted by: Lee Ann | August 31, 2011 at 10:01 AM
Oh, those are so adorable! I have 3 nieces that would love me to win one for them. Then, of course, I'd have to buy a couple for the others.
Thansk!

I think there is a mistake on how they are listed. It says the one on the left is Isabelly who shimmies your shyness away. That would be the one on the right. Twinkles is on the left. I would prefer Twinkles for my grand-daughter's fairy collection if I am a lucky winner.
Posted by: Kathy | August 31, 2011 at 10:04 AM
How cute is THAT?
Posted by: Linda | August 31, 2011 at 10:14 AM
How cute is THAT! They are both adorable, but I love the Isabelly.
Posted by: Linda | August 31, 2011 at 10:16 AM
What a lovely dolls! I like the one with the purple outfit.
Would be a nice companion for my DD.
Posted by: Jacqueline | August 31, 2011 at 10:41 AM
oh- so cool! I've had a similar string person for years and year, no details other than a purple string doll holding a big black string heart. my husband jokes that it's my knitting voodoo doll! I've always wanted another one and the fairy would be so adorable- my daughter is a fairy loving 'freak' and she is always trying to snatch my stuff!
p.s. absolutely loving the Boho scarf, it's coming along great!!! thanks
Posted by: kim | August 31, 2011 at 10:42 AM
I would love to give either doll a home, they are so adorable!
Posted by: Tina | August 31, 2011 at 10:45 AM
These are so cool. Would love one.
Posted by: Denise Royal | August 31, 2011 at 11:32 AM
I've seen these cool dolls online but not in person and would love one!
Posted by: Kristen Wesloh | August 31, 2011 at 11:44 AM
Love those little dolls!
Posted by: Joy | August 31, 2011 at 11:47 AM
These are so adorable. I would love to add one to my craft room.
Posted by: Tracee | August 31, 2011 at 11:48 AM
I love Isabelly! And since Isabel is my middle name,I would really like to adopt her.
Posted by: Carol Brooks | August 31, 2011 at 11:54 AM
Sweater Babe you have the greatest patterns. Isabelly would be a great addition to my home collectables. She would always remind me of my passion for knitting and...how dangerously close our home almost sucummed to Hurricane Isabelle. She would always remind me of the thankfulness that I feel these days!

too cute. Can't choose. Both are perfect.
Posted by: nanamamah | August 31, 2011 at 03:43 PM
I love String Dolls!
Posted by: Loren Gaggini | August 31, 2011 at 05:32 PM
The dolls are just adorable...It would be fun to have one to show our Knitting group...Pleaseeeee PatM
Posted by: Pat M | August 31, 2011 at 05:48 PM
Too Cute! They are adorable!
Posted by: JD | August 31, 2011 at 06:48 PM
I would be happy to win either doll. Who wouldn't love some shimmy and sprinkles in their life.
Posted by: Lindy Sherrod | August 31, 2011 at 06:49 PM
They are both so cute but as a belly dance teacher, I would love Isabelly "who shimmies your shyness away". She would be a great addition to our classs.
Posted by: Vivette Ashen-Brenner | September 01, 2011 at 03:49 AM
Love them!
Posted by: Meredith MC | September 01, 2011 at 08:19 AM
These are just toooo cute - I may not be able to wait for the final drawing of names and might just have to run off a buy one!
Posted by: Marilyn | September 01, 2011 at 12:02 PM
Too cute; my mom's name also was Isabel, so I think it would be comforting to have a little Isabelly by my side!
Posted by: Monkeygurl | September 01, 2011 at 12:34 PM
Isabelly could help make the shy shimmy away when it needs to go.
Posted by: Becca Steiner | September 01, 2011 at 06:18 PM
twikle is soooooo cute and so is isabelly i would love to win either
Posted by: caroline Goddard | September 02, 2011 at 12:48 AM
Hard to say which one I would like most since they are both so cute. If I really had to pick it would be Twinkle since I like her green outfit the best. Although, since Twinkle looks like a fairy, I have a feeling my daughter might steal her from me.
Posted by: Laura Leon | September 02, 2011 at 01:58 PM
I think I'd have to pick Twinkle...can't ever complain about a little enchantment in one's life :3
Posted by: Christine | September 06, 2011 at 01:58 AM
I NEED Twinkle (really I do)
Posted by: Kristi Mitchell | September 06, 2011 at 05:37 AM
So very cute! I'm doing a yarn swap with extras and think I have to add one of these to my package!!!
Posted by: RichelleCK | September 06, 2011 at 11:29 AM
They are the cutest ever, I just LOVE them.
Posted by: LC | September 07, 2011 at 08:17 AM
Those are cute names for the dolls!
Posted by: Wilma | September 07, 2011 at 01:57 PM
Opps - you are correct! I fixed my incorrect right/left reference.
Posted by: SweaterBabe | September 12, 2011 at 11:36 AM
As shyness is not a problem for me, personally, I would choose Twinkle. Everyone could use some enchantment in thier life and she is so adorable!!
Posted by: Tish Painter | September 14, 2011 at 08:54 AM
i could definetly use isabelly for my social awkwadness, and shyness. These are really to cute, great giveaway
Posted by: ragan | September 14, 2011 at 09:52 AM
Would love to have enchantment for the rest of my life so Twinkle would be my choice. Of course they're both cute. I have Purl on my knitting bag all the time.
Posted by: Rhonda Culbert | September 14, 2011 at 09:54 AM
I really need a little Twinkle in my day. These are just the cutest and I did go and check out Purl - so cute!
Posted by: Elaine H | September 14, 2011 at 10:38 AM
I would love the Isabelly doll! This is a cute giveaway!
Posted by: Jill_R | September 14, 2011 at 11:12 AM
I would love to win Isabelly so I won't feel so shy knitting and crocheting in front of my husband of 20 years.
Posted by: Carol Hayes | September 14, 2011 at 11:33 AM
Oh so lovely, either one of these charming ladies, would I be proud to sport on my needles, at home, in public, on the bus, around the campfire, watching ballet or even just zoning out to the mental marzipan on T.V. Plus when I talked to myself, I could say I was talking to them and my family would think me slightly less eccentric..... maybe! :o)
Posted by: Lisa W. | September 14, 2011 at 12:30 PM
These are just too cute. Very talented idea. Hope I get the privillage of owning one.
Posted by: Catherine McDonald | September 14, 2011 at 12:38 PM
Love them... Twinkle would definitely brighten my day!
Posted by: Julie | September 14, 2011 at 05:09 PM
Oh I hope I win this time. I LOVE TWINKLE (Isabelly is great, too)! Thanks for another chance at Kamibashi dolls - they are so cute!
Posted by: Jennifer Lucas | September 14, 2011 at 05:40 PM
Twinkles would find a happy home with my little menagerie. She could join my tiny Energizer Bunny, little Hello Kitty, feathery Pink Flamingo, and all my other small friends that inhabit the antique dresser next to my "Crafting Chair". They sit on and around the base of a lovely Tibetan prayer chime and keep me company while I ply my craft. They also try to inspire me when I hit a designing brick wall.
Twinkles would love playing with everyone, listening to the chime, and enjoying the various candles/incense/fragrant oils that scent the dresser. I think Twinkles would definitely be the prettiest fairy - actually the only fairy - on the block. She could even earn the title of Official Idea Fairy. Yep, Twinkles would really enjoy moving in with us. (BTW, she is the cutest little fairy I have seen, especially with her pretty green dress, green wings, green hair, and green gem-topped wand. Hmm, am I seeing a trend here?) I hope she can live with us but wherever she goes, she will bring a smile along with her.

I would love the Isabelly doll because I am a professional belly dancer and I know when other dancers saw my doll they would HAVE to have one themselves!
Posted by: Amanda Aziyade Niehaus | September 15, 2011 at 07:01 AM
I was born so shy I hid behind a chair when my wonderful Grandma came to visit!
I REALLY need Isabelly because she "shimmies your shyness away." :o)
Posted by: Denise Davis | September 15, 2011 at 09:36 AM
These are just too darling...and I would love Isabelly (just because I can't belly dance doesn't mean I can't have a doll that does !...lol)
Posted by: AnDy Horne | September 15, 2011 at 12:18 PM
They are absolutely adorable!
Posted by: Linda Golub | September 17, 2011 at 01:22 PM
How nice of them to give you to more to make our day! I would definitely want Twinkle, haven't been accused of being shy since 2nd grade!
Posted by: TrailerTrash | September 20, 2011 at 11:43 AM
