Mr Dangly's Operation

Inspired by this thread on Ravelry, titled "Mr Dangly: How hard is he?", I made a Mr Dangly. The only DK yarn I had was pink and white.  Nonetheless, this pattern definitely made a little male monkey: 

But as Mr Dangly was growing, he was also feeling uncomfortable with himself - unsure of who he was.  Feeling a little awkward  - like a foreigner in a strange body.  He looked to his idol, Israeli pop singer and Eurovision song contest winner Dana International, for inspiration.  

Then he realized what he was supposed to be - a baby gift for two friends of mine who are having their second girl.  And he also decided that he wanted to become a she. 

So he went under the knife, so to speak. 

Actually, I didn't have to cut anything - I just tucked his dangle inside his body and sewed the doll shut.  My friends can thank me now for keeping awkward questions at bay... ;-)

And here she is, all healed up: 

During the recovery period, she got a lot of rest: 

And ate lots of bananas to regain her strength: 

She is now healthy, and getting ready for her trip around the world.  Fabulous! 

And for those of you who don't know Dana International, Mr Dangly's favorite singer, here she is:
