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.

I've seen her Knitivity done and that's very good, but I'm not into royal weddings.

All you need is a generic pattern for a knitted doll and the right colours. I recommend Jean Greenhowe doll patterns (http://www.jeangreenhowe.com/)for the basic doll and basic clothes, all you need then is the patience of Job to sew all the tiny bits together.

One of my work colleagues knits dolls for a hobby.
She is working on a cleaning lady at the moment complete with mop, bucket, terry cloths and squirty bottles of cleaner.
She gets her designs from a book she bought. She says the basic doll is easy enough. It's the details that take the time as some are really tiny.

I heard about the knitted royals on the radio, it's good to see them. I think they are good, funny but basically inaccurate as they are all smiling, which the miserable sods never do. Give me a corgi any day

If you put a pair of glasses on him, Harry would be a dead ringer for Postman Pat.

Completely precious--wish I could make something like that.
