Let's Knit Magazine - Your knitting, your style

...what would you make?

Personally I love the Discworld books and I’d love to make a ‘Luggage’ toy.  Maybe one day I’ll try and make one… don’t fancy knitting all those legs though.  And I’d have to make a Nanny Ogg too!

My son loves Thomas the Tank Engine so maybe I should knit one of the engines from the show! lol Would certainly work out cheaper than buying all the bloomin’ toys!

i ve knitted Iggle Piggle & Upsie Daisy from In the Night Garden for Alfie.
My eldest would love the Adipose from Dr Who- the pattern is on Ravelry but its crochet- so im trying my best to learn it so i can make him one!
Dobby from Harry Potter would be cool- that is the book Dobby and not the rubbish one on the film!

I think you’re brave knitting the ITNG characters!  I did find a knitting pattern for an Adipose but can’t remember where.  Was a free pattern, obv.  I gave it to a friend who knitted it for her daughter.  I’ve got the crochet pattern as well but I can’t crochet!

I’d love to knit the powerpuff girls that cartoon is so cute!

Yeah!  That cartoon rocks!  Me and my old flatmate had a couple of the mugs - Blossom and Buttercup!  Had the keyring too!  They’d be good to do as Amigurumi I reckon.... again, have to learn to crochet! DARN!

yea me too I dont think i’ll ever manage it though..

he he thats cute that you had the cups i had a keyring at one stage as well!

the iggle piggle was easy but good lord the daisy one was a nightmare!- it was just as bad to stuff it afterwards!!!

Are there any Terry Pratchett knitting patterns both my son and hubby are right into TP, so would be nice to knit them something maybe x Janet

I’ve been looking for ‘Dora the Explorer’ patterns to knit a sweater for Maya...although if she wears anything else with D on it she might be taken for her.  She wears D socks and panties and t shirts...she just adores Dora..

I dont think I have ever seen any ET patterns, he is quite cute.

1. Salvador Dali
2. Patterns based on my friends sculptures. Would need his permission though (see black and white pic in siggie)
3. More Pagan designs

There should definitely be more pagan designs!  I agree there!

I’m on a Terry Pratchett fans group on Ravelry.  They did a “Pratchgan” for TP and there are some fab Discworld themed squares.  Other than that, I don’t know… A few people have made dolls of Lord Vetinari and Death… have a look and see if anyone’s put up their pattern.

Am I the only one who finds the In The Night Garden creatures a bit creepy?  I hate them.

I would have to do Pokemon characters for James.  Could someone knit me a Ewan McGregor doll please?
