lesmisloony | Old Gregg, the Hitcher, and a Wicked flip doll!

I just felt like showing off some of the Christmas presents I've been churning out of late. So here are some pictures! Yay.

Old Gregg: This was a gift for my friend Ashley. I actually found some glow-in-the-dark paint for a lovely mangina effect. I didn't tell her this. One night, it will surprise her. Hopefully. These little Boosh guys were so small that I just used paint to give them some creepy faces instead of yarn, as I tend to do.

The Hitcher: Made this one for my darling Kat,

moon_dove , who was wonderful enough to be the Hitcher to my Old Gregg on Halloween even though, being in America, no one recognised her. I love her a lot, really I do, so this was her Christmas gift. Yayz. She also does a pretty wicked Hitcher voice for a lady.

And here are the Hitcher and Old Gregg holding hands and being stalked by Little Ten and Little Rose, just because I'm a dork.

By the way, over behind the hairbrush and the dish soap you can see my Old Gregg wig underneath Kat's Hitcher wig...

And then the present I did for my roommate Slagathor. She's addicted to Wicked, so I decided to modify an old pattern for a flip doll. And then I got mad at the flip doll pattern and totally abandoned it. Ever since Little Ten I've kinda stopped using patterns...

Basically, if I've managed to confuse you, a flip doll means if you turn that skirt inside out, the other one is inside. Obvs. And all that silver yarn was actually bought for a Vince Noir doll I had planned to do and failed.

Oh, and more on the flip dolls. I did their two bodies as one long garter piece, then had to crochet (urgh, crochet) the skirts separately and piece it all together. I always, always use either US size 4 or 6 dpns, just because I love have no seams. Fabala's hat, however, was crochet. Glinda's was knit in the round with a crochet top.

Here they are with Slagathor's feet for size reference. And because her socks make me laugh.
