Dang!, I wish I would have watched this before I finished my bunny face. This is my first time making theses little critters. Thanks for your great tips.

I'd reached the stage of stuffing my first knitted toy head, I'm making Tilly Hare from Knitted Animal Friends. I remembered I'd previously watched this video of yours and came back to watch it again. It's been so helpful too rewatch. This first head is going to be a huge learning curve as I haven't knitted in around 35 years. At the moment feeling quite anxious about the face to look as sweet and cute as I can. Getting some practice in before I attempt a Little Cotton Rabbit pattern.

@EliseRoseCrochet 10 месяцев назад

That's wonderful! I think when you care about getting the face right it turns out so much better! Good luck! 🧶🧶🧶

Sometimes I'm feeling like an outcast, because when I'm making plushies and amigurumis - I love the embroidery part of making toy. It's just so magical, few stitches and my plushies look completely differend. I can make them happy, sad, angry, whatever I want. It's so... magical!

@EliseRoseCrochet 3 года назад

I agree!! Changing the stitches can give a toy a completely different look! 🍄🌻💓

I use a watered down non toxic acrylic paint for the cheeks. Adding a little at a time and blotting as I go. It should be permanent when dry. I also do my indentation for the eyes separately so I have more control and I can pull it in quite tight. It's also less stress if my knots don't turn out even. I'll give this way a go though as it does reduce the steps taken. I'm loving your videos Elise 😊

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 года назад

That's a great idea for adding color to the cheeks! Adding blush usually isn't permanent I've found. ❤️❤️❤️

I watched all the videos and bought tons of patterns to make animals. I have the cutest elephant, the Tearoom doll that I embroidered a doll face on my embroidery machine. I plan on sewing the face on and making a yarn wig. I hate mohair wigs they are messy and you can't fix them. I have all the pieces of a horse done. The finish work I do a little each day :)

@louiseedgecumbe318 2 года назад

I use soft pastels for adding colour. The chalky type not oil pastels. It's more permanent and you can build up the colours gradually.

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 года назад

@sewwebbofyarn9602 Год назад

Do you ever tie knots in the embroidery thread? The knitted toys seem so delicate, can children play with them? I have a pattern for the posy doll that I want to make for my granddaughter,.

@EliseRoseCrochet Год назад

I don't tie knots in them but anchored French knots work well. Any handmade toy is going to be more delicate than a store bought. I have fixed a toy before when it was "loved" a little too hard!! 😂
