Tiny Clanger is finished.

I have yet to garner sufficient enthusiasm to start one. I have all the 'ingredients ' but not the oomph.

Thanks all - certainly was a labour of love. (still haven't sewn up the second one!)
Katek - I am lucky enough to have a beach hut here and it is a great place for knitting and watching the world (and boats) go by!

Yes, I second that ^^. You both have very lucky grandchildren

Nanabelle and Katek I love both Clangers. Beautiful work and I have no doubt hours of love.

Nanabelle-your Clanger looks lovely! I also love the view behind her! Tiny is very fiddly which has put me off a little from doing another one. I can only find a pattern for Tiny and Small so as he's only a teeny bit bigger it's going to be just as awkward (Jackyb-the pattern is downloadable from BBC website). Def interface the feet as they stand up better and I think crochet for some of small pieces works better. I did my ear edging in crochet but like your idea of crocheting the hair in situ. Will try that if I make Small. ( I also have x stitch birth sampler for littlest dgs to finish and he's now 7 months! ) 2 year old dgs was delighted with Tiny and held her up to TV to show her the programme!

I crocheted (sp?) the hair on directly and also around the ears, and made a crochet strip for the bow - seemed easier than the knitted tube-y thing my pattern gave. She is lovely to hold - quite a bunchy handful!

oh Katek how funny - I have almost finished one too. I just have to sew on the felt outfit and do the feet. Did you find the interfacing made the feet stronger? As I have two granddaughters, I have just knitted the body for the second one but how I agree that all the sewing up was SO fiddley! And knitting those fingers!!!
The Clangers is one of the few programmes I watch with my gd.

It's brilliant - I love it!

I crocheted a complete nativity group, with animals, for my DGS and they all loved it. He used to take me through the figures and he would say: "That's a king, that's a king and that's Dave!" He thought one of the king's was his uncle!

Did you have a pattern or did you work it out for yourself?

Think it is a 'she' as there's a hair bow! Don't know if I'll make anymore although I am a little tempted. At least I'd be better prepared for making up this time. Ears needed lined and edged, feet needed interfaced and knitting 4 fingers/6 strands of hair and a tiny bow was certainly fiddly!

Shouldn't he be a 'she', all dressed in pink? (You can probably tell I don't know anything about clangers ).

Looks great! But I can see by looking at it that the sewing and making up would be very fiddly, so don't think I'll be doing one any time soon!

lovely 'Clanker' are you knitting others ?
