These are sooo cute. Emma is very clever - I can only knit squares, rectangles and the trickiest part of baby booties (sounds weird I know but I always stuff up the easy part).
These are gorgeous - I didn't think the next generation was knitting but how creative are these?!
Yesterday at the museum, I saw (and did not photograph - d'oh!) a set of soft toys based on microscopic bacteria... these included salmonella, chicken pox and ecoli... I doubt this provides Emma with any inspiration but it does show that imagination is the only limit ;-)
Claire - you'd be surprised at how many younger (18-28) people are knitting!! Even owning their own businesses creating amazing yarns ... she's a member of ravelry - http://www.ravelry.com/tour/peek - and they have some amazing patterns & creations.
ohhh I love these!! I was looking up patterns to do some of these when I found a picture of a jellyfish!! It's a Japanese style called amigurumi but alas I have no knitting talent! Go Emma!! :)
Sooooo cute. I used to knit and I am in awe of Emma's creations. It is very exciting to see this traditional hobby undergoing a revival. Would love to see the look on the kids faces when they get to meet these new friends. AK

ReplyDeleteThey look like fun. I'm sure the kids will enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteEmma is a very talented knitter - she gets her designs off online forums and creates them.
