Knitmonster
The KnitMonster name for my knitting site refers to the knitting compulsion. It also refers to me, because I’m occasionally a knitting machine and produce a high volume of work; and, because of the nickname a coworker gave me, Jenzilla (he meant it affectionately, I swear!).
Anyway, as I posted previously, I’ve been working on a knit amigurumi that’s made from a single rectangle, no shaping (at least not in the knitting part). Here’s the prototype:
What do you think? Of course, if you made one it wouldn’t have to be a monster, it just depends on how you do the face. It could easily be made into a cat or a bear. And it could even have arms, but somehow I thought it was fun without them.
this looks like the critters that chase the kittens – do you know the meme I’m talking about? I can’t remember what it’s called. But I know they’re not called what this one is called, so maybe they’re just cousins or something?
One of these days, when I get back your way, you’re going to teach me to knit. Just promise not to stab me with a needle in frustration. (Believe me: You will be tempted.)
Domo Kun! Yeah, if you didn’t do the ears part and added some flappy little arms you could make a Domo Kun.
Hey, while looking for a Domo Kun image I found this fun papercraft Domo Kun: http://pikmin789.deviantart.com/art/Domo-Kun-Papercraft-98978050
