I guess the strong mandible and glasses in the picture you copied made me think of Slade, too Ask anyone here: I watch too much Miami Vice. Thanks. But I don't think that one can watch too much Vice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I thought before, he was the easiest one to knit. The next one will be Trudy. I'm really excited to see how it will work with her portrait. Sorry guys. I derailed the thread and just wanted to make sure her post made it to the new page. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I ask how you chose the images to recreate? I notice that all three of them have sunglasses. I don’t typically think of Castillo wearing sunglasses. They hide his intense stare. LOL! Does your choice for Trudy have sunglasses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does your choice for Trudy have sunglasses? Thanks. All of them are going to wear sunglasses . The reason is easy: It's impossible to knit normal eyes. For knitting a grid is placed over the image. A box is equal to a stitch. The eyes are so small that you can hardly see anything. On a Facebook fan page I discovered a drawn picture that shows everyone with sunglasses. I only chose a different picture for Rico. You are definitely right and the sunglasses obscure Castillo's intense gaze, but unfortunately there is no other way of doing it.

I remember my grandmother had her bag of knitting materials with her almost anywhere she went to visit. She made all kinds of things including stuffed animals for the grandchildren, but never anything like your work. On a related note, I’ve been a high school teacher for 25 years and about three years ago I noticed for the first time a few of my girls with knitting stuff so asked them about it. Several of them said it was stress-relieving and they liked creating things. I had a couple more girls in one class last year that knitted. It always seemed like an activity that was disappearing but it just might be growing in popularity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunatly I can't take my knitting materials with me when I visit someone, because sometimes I knit up to 24 balls at the same time.That's why I have a large cardboard box on the sofa that contains the balls of wool that I am currently using. In the past when my children were small, I knitted a lot of pullovers with pictures on them: above all animals. Maybe the reason for its new popularity is because the things you knit are unique and it's very relaxing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D. Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 I just estimated that if you work 8 hrs. a day for 12.5 weeks you should be finished! Then we can all see and enjoy this Miami Vice, work of art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Posted December 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 NOw Trudy is finished, but I'm not that confident with it. I think she looks a bit desperate and one needs to now that it is her. IN the background you can see the bowl with the homemade cookies. Sometimes when I think that I wil go crazy with my knitting work, I eat some of them. Sugar and chocolate helps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the issue might be with the drawing. To me, it looks less obviously like Trudy than the other drawings do of their characters. Even Castillo with sunglasses on looked very much like him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably you're right. Look, this is the original picture. Gina looks a bit different, too. I think I have to deal with the fact that not all of the knitting pictures look like the original. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
