Title: Sky was lonely so I knitted Robbie
Post by: souffle on December 10, 2013, 13:10:06 PM
I felt a bit bad as Sootyca bid so much for the Sky knitted bauble and she said knit Sky as it is easier than a tabby so I decided I'd try and do Robbie as well  ;D
He does look more stripey than tabby however hey I gave it a go  :rofl:  :hug:
Robbie was very handsome so I've added his pics too

Fab!  I havent knitted since I was a kid, but just a thought - would it be easier to 'stitch' the markings on after?

It would be possible to stitch the markings on emmylou and I have done this with Chinese dominant spot hamsters but I didn't feel the effect was quite the same as when I knitted it in. It looked 'embroidered'
It looked nice enough anyway and the person I made it for liked it :)

 :wow: :wow: ;D  brilliant!!   Love the knitted cat and the models  :Luv:

So clever to be able to do that.  :wow:

A colleague of mine knows an elderly lady (83 and she's just got engaged!  ;)) who can knit something just from a photograph of it.  Hence me and my sis have a Tiny Clanger each, and another colleague of ours now has a whole knitted nativity set complete with camel and donkey.   ;D

OMG knitted nativity scene, that will have taken a lot of skill I am sure.

I thought you was going to say she knit her own engagement ring  ;) :rofl:
