Russian Artist Knits One-Of-A-Kind Christmas Doggies

Elena from Yoshkar-Ola, Russia, knits toys and dolls to adorn the brightest holidays — Christmas and New Year. And there is a pinch of magic in her story.

Born on January 7 — Russian Christmas — Elena fell in love with the family celebrations of the holiday. For her, this stands for the warmth of home’s hearth, childhood, fairytales, anticipation of a miracle, and toys, too. Moreover, according to the Druid’s horoscope, Elena’s tree is an evergreen conifer, a constant Christmas companion — one more match?

A few years ago, she discovered this fairytale herself and decided to contribute to its implementation. Elena opened up a world of knitted toys with schemes and patterns, rolls of yarn, bunches of knitting needles to create gentle, soft and amazingly friendly toys anyone would make his best friend. There are no ‘clones’, every character is one of a kind. They are like children: each one is unique and favourite!

These are cute! But except for maybe the one dressed in purple, the dogs are crocheted. The clothes are knit. Give her credit for doing two crafts.

How can you tell the difference? I was actually thinking of taking up knitting but it seems like maybe I might find one better to start with. I am sure there are reason to do one over the other, but figured I would ask in the most general of senses.

I had to go back and have a good look abd enlarged the photos and I think what we are seeing is the purl bumps on the right side giving texture. There is probably some crochet in there too. Does it really matter . They are cute, some whimsical, just lovely and any child or adult would love to receive one. I for one would be happy if someone gave me the purple pup💕😉
