I just love Minnions so much!^^
All of you guys are just ssssoo loveable! And crazy. And… just as obsessed as I am – but as I’ve been assured that’s considered a positive trait around here.
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!
Well I did have to use some yarn to get the postures right for the photo, because I wanted to keep them as cuddly as possible and didn’t want to use wire. And taking the picture took almost as long as knitting a pair of gloves…^^’ And please, please don't you die on me!
will there be a cat?
There is definitely going to be a kitty (as soon as Minna decides to draw her/him from different angles and I can get a better grip on the physiognomy).
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)
I know exactly what you mean! It’s pretty cool how different and yet similar they are.
They are between 30 (Tuuri including hair) and 37 cm high. I used acrylic yarn (nr. 3; light worsted) because it had the widest range of colours (and was affordable in the quantity I needed)
I got a fit of the giggles when I saw your Emil, took my computer, ran to my family and shouted: “See! I am NOT alone in this!” Should have taken a picture of their faces.
I can’t wait to see the rest of them in crochet! (By the way I started with Emil as well, and than went on to knitting Lalli – coincidence or kindred minds?)
And now for the knitted Cattank and some knitted environment *cheers you on*
…I seriously AM considering to knit the cattank (they need to be kept save somewhere after all
) I’m just currently out of funds… ^^'
I hope pictures will be ready by Saturday to lessen the weekend-withdrawal.
