What was your inspiration?

A friend of mine who's a gamer asked me to create this after seeing my other doll work. It's based on Sackboy from "Little Big Planet", but he wanted it to resemble his girlfriend. This was the result!

What are you most proud of?

The way I was able to figure out how to do the body. I crocheted a black core and knit over it. It was effective!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

This one took a LOT of trust. Trust yourself!

He's fantastic. My kids have been asking me to make one of these for ages. I'm so impressed!

Thanks! I found crocheting the body and then knitting around it worked the best. Just knitting it wasn't working at all.
