Knitted Heroes and Villains

Carol Meldrum's new book, Knitted Icons, includes patterns for knitted versions of famous people from Che Guevara to Elvis Presley. Knitted Borat and Amy Winehouse are pictured above. The book includes a photograph of every finished doll and a brief biography of the icon. [via] Link.

Correction Nov 16: The pictures above are actually readers' submissions to the Daily Mail in response to a feature about the book Knitted Heroes. Sorry for the confusion. The Knitted Heroes book features the following celebrities:

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, and Elvis
