How would you like to take a knitted Borat to bed? Fancy knitting an Amy Winehouse? Patterns for making all these celebs and more can be found in Knitted Icons, a great new book out today and available on Amazon.

From Madonna to Chairman Mao, each finished doll measures a substantial 10 inches tall—suitable for posing on your desk, bookshelf, or other doll display.

I notice there is a Marilyn Monroe doll for sale on eBay. Apparently it was created using the pattern from the Knitted Icons Book.

Hello,

Thank you for posting the great blurb about Knitted Icons on your blog. I couldn't help but write to make a correction.

A London newspaper profiled the book and asked readers to submit their own icons - The Borat and Amy Winehouse doll, although cute in their own right, were submissions to the newspaper and not related to the actual book!

As for the actual list of icons, they are:

Marilyn Monroe
Bruce Lee
Abraham Lincoln
Jackie O
Che Guevara
Jimi Hendrix
Albert Einstein
Cher
James Dean
Muhammad Ali
King Kong
Godzilla
Madonna
Andy Warhol
Chairman Mao
The Beatles
Charlie Chaplin
Gandhi
Queen Elizabeth II
Bob Marley
Audrey Hepburn
Bob Dylan
Mr T
Ziggy Stardust
Elvis

Thank you!


Michelle
