Finally finished dd's Doctor Who doll - does anyone want to see?

[GreebosWhiskers]

It took 6 blardy weeks (mainly 'cos I kept sidetracking myself lol) but 'tis finally done. dd's face when she saw it finished made all the crampy hands worthwhile

Fabulous!!

I'm very tempted to print of the dalek pattern and ask my mum to knit DSs one each... I am a huge disappointment to my mum and her mum as I am sadly lacking in knitting skills.

WOW - that is GOLD!

Thanks for the link puppydavies - am definitely gonna try one of those.

Marina - I'll get those amendments off to you ASAP.

And thanks to everyone for your kind comments

That is absolutely fantastic - itis so much like him!!! Well done

Marina - I've emailed you the amendments.

I've also saved it in case anyone else wants to have a go.

And now I've emailed you the corrections to the amendments

Not worthy, not worthy.

well done its fab!!!!!!!

Wow, that is truly fantastic, I am really impressed!

That's brilliant. And I like the dalek too.

Thanks SO much Greeboswhiskers, all safely received

You're very welcome

Oh, it's genuinely fantastic! I opened it thinking and was so stunned. Very amusing though to have a cuddly knitted Dr Who. YOu have unusual children

I am roffling a lot at the knitted dalek though. It's hard to be scary if you are knitted.

Wow that's just fantastic, he's got such a lovely face - I want one! Just dragged my dp in to have a look too - you really clever you are.

Thanks everyone - I'm actually now!

I was really chuffed at how the face turned out as I've never made any toys before - I guess all the cross-stitch paid off lol.

I definitely have strange children. dd3's favourite game is to run around like a lunatic yelling 'aaarrrgh the daleks are coming' then leaping up on to the safe zone (the couch). If she gets scared at night I just tell her it's okay 'cos Dr Who's chased all the scaries away

Can you do one for me? I'll give it to DH as a christmas present, that'll give you around 5 months to make it!

oh my god! that is wonderful, well done. i fancy it a little, though. which is wrong, isn't it?

My ds2 says, "I want it! I want it!!"

oneplusone - I can do one for you although it may not be exactly the same colours as I just used up old balls of yarn that I had laying around. This one took about 6 weeks but to be fair I did start another 3 projects in the meantime (I have such a short attention span) & I had to work out various bits of the pattern. Email me on [email protected] if you like

Aitch I kind of fancy it too. Am rather jealous of dd getting to take it to bed

seriously, greebo. you should sell them on ebay. i think you'd do really well. i'd ove to own one myself. but that Would be Wrong, like i say.

Aitch - dh has suggested designing my own toys & selling the patterns on-line rather than selling a toy I've spent ages making (I'm probably the world's slowest knitter lol) for a tenner. Have to say I'm seriously considering it . . .

gb, i'm inclined to agree there is potentially more money to be made in selling a pattern than the finished item. there is a ceiling price you can charge for a ready made soft toy, which is unfortunately compromised by cheap ones available which are mass produced in the far east. i don't think the price would reflect the hours it took to knit.

but with a pattern its different, you are also selling the idea of hand crafting something, and passing on the know how.

i'm sure, however, that you could enlist the help of an numbers of old wifies in fife and therefore keep your secrets to yourself...
