wow! His hands & feet amaze me!

theknittycat March 17 2009, 02:25:48 UTC

Wow! You were fast! :o) I was still editing the post. heh heh

Thanks so much! Hands and feet are a challenge, especially with my aversion to making things in pieces! Figuring out ways to do everything in one piece keeps my brain busy! ;o) I'm so glad you like them!

The hands and feet especially are AMAZING! I also love the body details on the Hulk (like, that he actually has butt cheeks!). You did a great job! I've still never knitted amigurumi before. Great work. Oh, and Lambie is sweet too of course! :)

Thanks so much sayga! :o) You're so nice! Glad you like his bum, too! heh heh

And thanks for acknowledging Lambie Pie, though I actually just put her in the photos to show how big the Hulk is in comparison to my usual peeps. :o) She's a 2007 Easter ami made just a couple of months after I began making them - and don't tell the others, but she's still my fave. ;o) She says that the Hulk is much sweeter than he looks. ;o)

COOL! I like his expression!
but i think you have missed something, His pants should be ripped! hehe :D

Re: :) theknittycat March 17 2009, 07:07:09 UTC

Oh, thanks, zuperdzigh! His expression was really difficult for me, 'cause I like my creations to be sweet and smiling... but... well, the Hulk IS angry, after all! heh heh

ha ha, actually I didn't miss that his pants are ripped... I prefer the ripped only at the waist and hems version, rather than the ripped holes in the knees.
like these:

You probably can't tell from my photos, but the waist of his pants is ragged and ripped looking, with a scrap of white shirt left stuck in it, and the hems on the pant legs are up higher on his legs and ripped. I didn't do a good job of capturing that in the pics, unfortunately. Didn't have him for long after finishing him, and had to take the pics in a hurry.

Re: :) zuperdzigh March 18 2009, 05:56:03 UTC

Oh... right! Now I saw that scrap of white shirt! Great!
Of course you didn't have him for long, he already turn back into normal human

Re: :) theknittycat March 19 2009, 23:27:36 UTC

Yeah, it's not easy to see in the photos. The top is kind of holey and ragged. But I guess the important thing is that Matt can see it in person! ;o)

Oh, right, he's Dr. Bruce Banner again! heh heh

Wow! You are amazing! Together with the Thing these two are a close tie-up to the most realistic things you've made so far! I ADORE his hands - those fingers are fabulous! And all the other yummy details, too! XD The little added sweetness factor that is the super-adorable lambie made me squee.

theknittycat March 17 2009, 17:33:13 UTC

Oh, you are so kind, legendancer! Had to put a little cuteness in the photos... that angry face was making me SAD! heh heh

I'm working on a Yoda at the moment, for another nephew, I'll be interested to see what you think of him. :o) Thank goodness, he has only 3 fingers! And his feet are hidden by his robes. Whew!

legendancer March 17 2009, 21:25:08 UTC

Just glad you're back, and come bearing goodies! And he's not angry, just having a bad face day, I guess. Happens sometimes.
I can't wait to see Yoda! You're full of fun projects!
Seriously: welcome back, we've missed you!

theknittycat March 17 2009, 22:48:08 UTC

Oh, you are such a dear, legendancer! :o) I loved what you said about his bad face day!! hee hee And I'm going to think of him that way from now on! ;o)

Thank you very much! I missed you too! :o)

causticmuse March 17 2009, 14:57:53 UTC

That is absolutely amazing! I cannot believe you figured out a way to knit the Hulk in one piece. :-O

theknittycat March 17 2009, 17:41:11 UTC

Thanks so much, causticmuse! I'm kind of fanatical about not wanting to attach pieces, so I've figured out a few ways of avoiding that... had to make his arms separate from his body, though. So he's not ALL in one piece. ;o) I was pretty tickled with the method I finagled for making his torn up waist and hems on his pants with my trusty knitting needles, all in one piece with his body, and never having to sew any bits on! YAY! Too bad it shows up so poorly on the pics.
