It was a dark and spooky night.
This my entry for the Craftster Zombies & Robots & Bears...Oh My! challenge. This is the first time I've entered, I couldn't resist. I got the idea for the knitted trees from the book Knit a Fantasy Story that I blogged about way back in my first post, but I didn't follow the pattern, I just made it up as I went along. The bear is a new figure, he's so bright compared to the rest of the scene that he's a bit washed out. The robot is visiting from another vignette. This is also my official kickoff of the Halloween season, so check out the links to the right. I'm sorry they haven't been updated from last year. I have a few more to add (and other links to update) but Typepad is having "an ongoing problem with Typelists". They say I can recreate all of them from scratch, but I don't have time right now. I've got things to make!
I love the tree! Spoooky :-)

Knit a fantasy story! Must see that book, and maybe stalk the author a little bit. Sounds too cool to really be in print. Maybe your next job will be to work for Tim Burton? Excuse this choppy post, I'm a bit tired. Glad you're back.

The knitted trees are amazing. The talking trees in Wizard of Oz and the Hobbit books were always fascinating to me. Yours are the perfect embodiment of them. The green one is my favorite. I love the purple eyes, the light green fluffy in his branches, and the creepy cream and green stitches on his body.

I don't know if there were trees like this on H.R Puffenstuff or not, but that's what they make me think of...or maybe it's the sea monsters from Sigmund and the Seamonsters??? Either way, I love them.
