Knitted royal wedding gparty

Behold: the royal wedding party, including corgis! Scroll down for more photos. :-)

That's what I want to work up to; not royalty of course, but knitted or crocheted fannish characters.

Aww, that's so cute! Crocheted Amigurumi is very popular.

Those are so cute! I especially love the Worf. I have lots of crocheted doll patterns bookmarked but I think I prefer the smoothness and variety of knitting though it's probably harder to use in a doll.

If you could knit in the round on very fine needles, the effect would be lovely- but far, far beyond my skill level.

I did, many,many years ago, make a few very basic crocheted dolls. It's a fun thing to do.

I just bought some very fine circulars to knit socks, and I knit in the round a lot so that's no problems. It's the design and shaping I'd have to figure out.
