Whee!!! She even added my little Morris horns (originally crocheted by \u003Ca href=\"http://cdave.livejournal.com/\" class=\"lj-user\">cdave\u003C/a>). Awesome! Lauren's really big in the world of knitting, she runs a group of something like 6,000 knitters, \u003Ca href=\"http://www.stitchandbitchlondon.co.uk/\">Stich and Bitch London\u003C/a>, and you can see \u003Ca href=\"http://whodunnknit.com/\">her graffiti knitting website here\u003C/a>. (She's \u003Ca href=\"http://twitter.com/deadlyknitshade\">deadlyknitshade\u003C/a> on Twitter.)\\r\n\\r\nApparently Lauren based her knitting on a sketch Gary did, but he hasn't brought in his sketchbook yet, so I'll have to post that later. Here's a little drawing I did of the her this morning:\\r\n\\r\n\u003Ca href=\"http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l27/jabberworks/lauren_doll_lg.jpg\">\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/lauren_doll-2104bb8c91.gif\">\u003C/a> \\r\nI just had a thought that it might be fun to colour in, so click on it for a more \u003Ca href=\"http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l27/jabberworks/lauren_doll_lg.jpg\">hi-res image\u003C/a> if you want to print it out or anything.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Ci>Edit:\u003C/i> Ooh, Gary's just in, here's his prototype sketch, ha ha! \\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/gary_sarah-93558e164c.jpg\">\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/lauren_doll2-16a13a908e.jpg\" width=\"380\"> \u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/alexwrap-70d7dbd5ce.jpg\" width=\"300\">\\r\n\u003Ca href=\"http://www.themousehunter.com/blog/\">Alex Milway\u003C/a> was wrapping up a gift for someone in old newspaper and spotted Vern and Lettuce peeking out, so he posted a pic on Twitter! (Aww... Thanks, Alex!) I think that particular comic is hanging in the \u003Ca href=\"http://www.cartoonmuseum.org/\">Cartoon Museum\u003C/a>, I need to visit and have a look. \\r\n\\r\nMy friend and website designer \u003Ca href=\"http://www.hammerheadrabbits.com\">Dan Fone\u003C/a> posted his \u003Ca href=\"http://tweaktoday.com/users/rabbitdan/mission_submissions/2009-11-16\">latest entry\u003C/a> to this great web community called \u003Ca href=\"http://tweaktoday.com\">Tweak Today\u003C/a>. Every day, we get a new photographic mission. Yesterday it was: \u003Ci>Draw yourself a 'knuckle tattoo' (one letter on each finger). Take a pic of what it says!\u003C/i>\\r\n\\r\nAnd there's some fascinating discussion going on \u003Ca href=\"http://lucylou.livejournal.com/578698.html\">over here\u003C/a>, set off by \u003Ca href=\"http://lucylou.livejournal.com/\" class=\"lj-user\">lucylou\u003C/a>'s comic about comics going digital, and the old guard being rather pessimistic about it.
