He doesn't look that much hairier!

BTW: Had to google 'hirsute' ;)

Love them both x

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me this will become a pattern soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon

Cleo Fitzgerald said...

one more thing ... what fabric did you use for the armour?

Liesl said...

I love the word hirsute almost as much as I love Fiskar. He's fabulous.

But I'm with Kate - I don't think he looks much hairier. If he whips off the tunic, has he got a hairy chest? Or maybe a hairy back? Actually I think should stop there ...

OH Hes is wonderful too. Hair or no hair.
xo

Cath @ chunkychooky said...

So good!! love everything about him!

Melody said...

I'm so glad you are a part of my blogging world. You bring a smile to my face every time. What epic journey awaits the brothers?

Lizzie said...

Kate said...

I think hirsute is one of the best words in the English language and I think that Fiskar is a spunk!
Have an ace weekend Jodie.
ps. your facebook is spamming me.

I wish i was their little sister Helga, how cool to have such tough brothers!! Love Posie

Tine said...

LOL!!! Do they have a brother named Zwilling by any chance? He looks like a very strong young man!

Kate said...

Love them Jodie - they are brilliant.

tee hee... are you sitting there with a dictionary??
I certainly am now :p
Cute Fiskar!!

Somehow these are very 'Knighty' names!!

bec said...

I wasn't sure if hirsute meant hairy or chubby! The consensus seems to be hairy! Gosh, what could be the next names???Might need a trip to Spotty to check them out haha
PS Word verification: codstent harharhar

Fer said...

What a dude.

Mandy said...

I just love the names you have given to these knights. My own knights of the workroom - my hardworking rotary cutters - although they bear the same names are nowhere near as attractive as your wonderful characters.

Both are very cute. :)

Like I said, Sharp!

Dafa?

silverpebble said...

Rescued any damsels lately?

h. said...

I love that word! "Hirsute" Must now find a way to use it in everyday conversation.

You are so inspiring.. in so many ways. ;-)

Evalyn said...

Fiska looks older than Olfa, to me. I don't know why. Both are handsome young knights. I feel a story coming on??

Evalyn said...

I have read somewhere, that the earliest versions of armour were actually made of heavy felt, which was dense enough to deflect swords and arrows. I don't know if it's true, but it makes sense and it certainly supports your method.

trash said...

Well now, that is a bit crafty ;-)Are we taking bets on the name of the third knight?

Farmyard Crafts said...

What a hottie! As long as he doesn't resemble a carpet... that's all good!

Jan said...

Hmm, now let me see - which knight in felty armour do I love the most?? Too difficult to choose; they're both gorgeous, Jod (or should I say noble and gallant and well-armoured, cos I don't think knights understand the concept of cute.)

Georgia said...

Totally had to look up HIRSUTE. These are totally cute.

Anonymous said...

I think they should rescue sisters called Janiome and singer!!! LOL

Anonymous said...

Janome and Singer......sorry about the tpyo's.... hehehe

AnnieO said...

Hirsute is a great word...glad His Hairiness is not overly so. Not like those dudes whose beards barely graze their eye sockets!

Hmmm, Olfa. Fiskar. I sense a trend...

Mary said...

Do they have a sister called Clover perchance?

thesims said...

I am thinking there will be a Mundial of the round table coming up???

Or maybe Gingher of the sharp blade??

The grey felt is perfect for the armour - they look great - with or without hair!

Baa-Me Kniits said...

Fiskar the Fabulous!!! That must be the reason for Olfa's tonsure. doesn't hirsute run in the family??

Leanne said...

You know they now need a dragon to slay and a damsel to save.
