Marsha, they would have to be a sort of “arsenic and old lace” type, no doubt! Sweet little grannies knitting creepy organs.

That uterus thingy totally creeped me out.

Whoever thought up the idea would be a great character for a novel, I’m sure.

Went to that Blythe doll site — are you old enough to remember that fad of the late 70s or 80s [seems like women were wearing big hair] but there were these waif dolls, no smiles, big baby-like foreheads, huge eyes, tiny mouths? Creepy then! Creepy now! Once around is enough for many things. knit knit knit

Friend me on Ravelry! (I haven’t figured out quite how to do it)
I think the uterus doll is cute – it looks like a pillow that’s giving two thumbs up! But I’ve got way too many other projects on the go to start knitting something I would have to explain. I can just see it now… friend or family member comes over… “what a cute pillow!” “actually, it’s a uterus.” “a what?” “a uterus.” *stunned silence* “what’re you going to knit next, testicles?”
Sorry, being silly

Oh by the way, I didn’t know what the “Blythe doll phenomenon” was, so I googled it.

Pretty creepy too, but I can’t put my finger on what’s so disturbing about them:

Uh, now admittedly, the term “whatever blows your skirt up” is useful here. This earns a WFT Badge.
