This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed π¨
Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.
Pickles is 100% hand knit on circular needles from a nice fingering-weight merino yarn. The only sewing on Pickles is the yarn holding his eyes on, everything else was knit into his form. 18 inches long and about 9 tall, Pickles took about 230 hours to create. He is soft and friendly shaped
Pickles is adorable
I love Pickles ;-;
Wow, I didn't think knitting was as good for making dolls as crochet, but you have proved me wrong. He's adorable and very well done.
Pickles is very cute. Very friend shaped.
Great work buddy, keep going!
Pickles is friend
That's so cute.
Pickles and the colors/style make me think of Rugrats
Wow! My mom was a knitter and would make beautiful cabled sweaters on needles connected by a "string". Is that what you mean by circular needles? Very impressive. Good job!
Yes, the cabled needles allow me to hold the edges of the polygons in place while I knit inward and shink bigger shapes into tiny triangle points at their centers where they meet
Not OP but, yes. Circular needles are each connected on one end by a cable (or similar). They are typically used to make tubes without seams. Like how most socks are a continuous tube (except for the heel and toe). Most sweaters arenβt done on circular needles (although they can be). If you look at how most sweaters are constructed, you can see that the front and back are single blocks that are stitched together at the sides
Interesting! Most sweaters I do are circular cast on too. Though admittedly myself and my knitting circle seek out in-the-round patterns. Ive never been fond of stitch and flip classic needles
She also would knit socks and gloves on 4 double pointed needles. I went more towards weaving and now sewing, but I love the three dimensionality of knitting in the round.
