Last week I finished a new Viking doll made out of Lion Brand yarns. After I got him done, we headed to Central Park to do a quick photo shoot. It was FREEZING but we had fun. Here's Mike getting ready to take a shot. I like the size difference between Mike and the viking.
Here are a few of our best shots of the day:
STREAM & ROCKS SHOT
OLD NETTING SHOT
TREE SHOT
Despite the cold, it was a very successful photo shoot. Way to go Mike!
I like the old netting shot best!

I love this little guy. Any chance you will be selling the pattern?
Posted by: Debbie Williams | January 11, 2010 at 08:45 AM
Thanks Vims and Debbie. Debbie, yes, I do plan to sell all of my patterns once I get them in an acceptable format. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again!

Yes, PLEASE sell the pattern to this little guy and let us know about it! It actually looks a little like my father-in-law!!!

I NEED THIS. Oh my god...I would carry him around while I drink mead and listen to Finntroll. <3

Thanks Liz. You must have a cute fater-in-law!
Grimkitten your comment made me laugh. My husband went to see Finntroll a while back. Take care.

Hi Jazminemy. Unfortunately, there has been a delay in the publication of our patterns. I'm really sorry. I'm working to find a new publisher and will be in touch as soon as I have news. Thanks so much for your nice words about our work and sorry again for the loooong delay in getting my patterns to the market! Kara

Cool, I made a Hagar the Horrible for my nephew. But it doesn't compare to your viking, I love it.

You know Nancy, I kind of had Hagar the Horrible in mind when I was designing the viking. I'd love to see your Hagar, but sadly, the link won't work for me. Feel free to send me a photo. I'm sure it's terrific. What a lucky nephew.

Oh I hope you manage to publish the patterns soon... My Gaelic History lecture showed us a picture of your amazing creation in our lecture on the Vikings today, and I stupidly mentioned I could crochet; now everyone wants one! Particularly one of the guys in the class, who has long ginger hair and beard, and does re-enactments! Seriously, it looks just like him.. :)
Truly, truly love it.
Posted by: Rebecca | January 25, 2012 at 12:55 PM
Wow, that's amazing that my little viking ended up in your Gaelic History lecture. :-). I am currently working on the pattern for the viking (he will be the first pattern released) and I will let you know when it is ready. I hope it is in time for you to make a viking for the guy in the class with the ginger hair and beard who does reenactments. :-). Take care and thanks for writing Rebecca.
