...a tiny Emil to stick in your pocket and take with you everywhere.... o_o

yes... and when people ask me what that is I can touch their arm gently and say "Let me tell you about our lord and savior Minna Sundberg"

[P__]

heck yeah! that's awesome
a box of cookies for you Helia!

I made myself a mead-moose inspired by starfallz amazing picture:



Now I can cuddle with it every time I want to 

This is my first amigurumi. 

WANT.  *grabby hands*  Seriously these are amazing.

Helia: This is sooo cool! I want one! (Is now a good time to start learning how to do amigurumis?...)

Ann Marie: Thank you!

This is my first amigurumi. 
I didn’t follow any pattern, but it was surprisingly easy to find out what to do. Except the hair. Oh, The Hair, the most important part of Emil, gave me headaches, and I’m still not really satisfied with it.

This is the tutorial I've used for my amigurumi dolls.  Making the hair as a wig helps make sure there are no bald patches, and and then if something goes wrong I can remove it and reseat it how I like.  Though I should point out I do not glue mine, instead I use a turkish rug knot to secure the hair, then tack down the wig with yarn that matches the skin, not the hair.

Oh, and he's adorable, btw.

First: Helia, Amigurumemil is great! SO shiny! ^^

And... Yeah what could one possibly do with a bunch of dolls? 
Well... that's exactly what I've been asked since March. Because when people started joking about how Ása was knitting Reynir, I sort of took it as a challenge.
All during April everyone waited for me to just drop it mid-project.
Somewhere around May my family and friends just accepted, that I went completely bonkers.

So here are the results of three months of knitting:



Currently they are exploring my room, raiding the bookshelves and getting accustomed to a quiet little place in the Silent World (you’ll get Pictures as soon as they settled in properly).

I want to hug them all. Beautiful work! Did you design them all yourself or did you use a pattern for them?
Looking forward to more photos!

Thanks! 
I adapted some basic shapes for the bodies from a book called  “Knit your own zombie”(yeah I do see some irony in that ^^).
But the rest of it was draw, knit, compare, undo, redo and trying to keep track of which patterns worked and which didn’t.

ARE YOU A WIZARD? Because I'm pretty sure you have to be one, or some kind of knitting superhero, to not only MAKE these guys, have them all be the right height, AND pose them like in the picture!

I just... I have NO words. None.
I am dead. Awestruck. Etc.

[starfallz]

I love them.

So here are the results of three months of knitting:

3 months worthly used!
My family finds my obsession with quilting odd and the products non-interesting especially my fascination with recycling fabric. So I found a group of quilters to share my passion for crafts. Your knitting skills are deeply appreciated here!

These are AMAZING! The facial expressions, body postures, how they hold their hands and their gear. You have captured our crew perfectly. And I love Reynir`s clothes!

Please do keep us drooling for the dolls with action pictures.
will there be a cat?

OMG you are amazing! They are so cute!
It’s nice to see the difference between the two techniques - knitting and crochet. How tall are they? What yarn did you use?

And I can’t find the words to express how happy you made me, because you know, not being alone with this silly urge to make dolls of your favourite comic characters. 
Now I got really determined to crochet everyone; can’t wait to have the complete set. (I’m currently working on Lalli)

My new motto: CROCHET THEM ALL!

[Ana Nymus]

Those are absolutely adorable!!!!!!

*scrambles to find crochet hooks so she can try it*

Wow! Respect for the amount of work that's obviously in them! And now for the knitted Cattank and some knitted environment *cheers you on*
