Morrissey doll



Just finished Morrissey, and he's looking for a new home.

He's around 12 inches tall and is hand knitted by me, from my own pattern. I'd like to think of this as a Hatful Of Hollow circa-1984 type Morrissey, with his off the shoulder shirt and bunch of gladioli.

What's he stuffed with? Misery and bad poetry. Actually, no, it's polyester stuffing but the other things sound better. His shirt isn't sewn into position so you can have fun adjusting it into various angst-ridden poses. It's not removeable though as the bunch of flowers are attached to his tiny knitted hand.

Hmm... now I've finished him, I'd like to knit a Johnny Marr *adds idea to knit list*.

    1. Glad you like him! At the moment I am having to focus on knitting birds as I'm having my first knitting book published by Search Press in Septembr 2015, but after that I may be making more dolls.
