Who Do You Knit Toys For?
Jun 19th
Hey everybody! I’m writing about knitted toys right now for something special to be published in the future, and I’d like to ask for your help!
I want to come up with a fun list of the different kinds of people that we knit toys for. Who have you knit toys for as gifts? I’m especially interested in hearing about more unconventional toy recipients—someone with an interesting occupation, such as a truck driver, or maybe someone with an interesting relationship to you, like your great-great-aunt.
Ideally, I would like like to hear about people for whom you’ve knitted Mochimochi Land toys, but any kinds of knitted toys are OK.
So, who have you knitted toys for, and what did you knit? Please comment! (And thank you for your help!)
Anthropomorphic Window
Jun 19th
I made this guy last month as an experiment. It was an interesting project, but a little chaotic with all the colors.
I made a couple more, then decided I was finished with the project. Too stressful! I’m going to save my pictorial ideas for cross-stitch, I think.
Picture-Perfect Pups
May 26th
It turns out that Pile-able Pups come in more than one breed!
Grace of Kathryn Ivy whipped up a lovely set of neapolitan-flavored dogs…
She was nice enough to blog about the project in detail, with lots of wonderful photos.
Lisamarykay1 proved that a single Pile-able Pup can be just as cute on its own. Especially if it has some treats to keep it company!
This guy looks a little like a cross between a dog and a seal, no? So cute!
I say this a lot, but it’s always such a thrill to see other knitters’ results from my patterns. Can’t wait to see what other varieties of pups pop up!
Thank you to Grace, Lisa and Alice for your testing help!
Enemies
May 24th
I’ve been making a bunch of these little guys for a possible future project. Originally I thought they would be anthropomorphic moss, but they have decided that they are instead mortal enemies!
We’ll see what they eventually become.
