I was sat up in my tree knitting a few weeks ago watching Harry Hill’s TV Burp when he announced that he was doing a knitting version of The X Factor. He was launching a competition called The K Factor “So you think you can knit!” FAME at last I thought and I was so excited I fell off my branch. Having composed myself the next day I set about entering this competition.I entered my gorilla suit because lets face it, who else is mad enough to knit one of these?
I then entered virtually everything I’ve knitted over the last few years including my celebrity knits Wayne Babooney and Apey Winehouse and sat back and waited for The TV Burp team to phone me.
The next week I could hardly watch the programme as I waited for some of my knitted things to be shown but they weren’t. So then I had an amazingly unique idea. I would knit a Harry Hill doll, they would have to show that! My Harry Hill knitted character doll did not get entered that week as my mum died and instead I took it to the funeral instead to cheer up all the kids on such a sad occasion.That weekend I fell off my branch again because there were thousands of knitted Harry Hill toy doll entries. Could people have read my mad monkey mind?
Well here is my Harry Hill doll and he’s probably the only one in the country NOT to have appeared on the TV Burp show.


We watch the show together and my Harry Hill knitted doll likes to dress up and copy the real Harry Hill.
Here he is doing last week’s Tommy Cooper impersonation.
We also record our own versions of TV Burp,we particularly enjoyed this version of Which Dinosaur Is Better? There’s only one way to find out .FIGHT!

The winner was the triceratops of course and my Harry went for a victory ride.
By popular demand I have decided to release the knitting pattern for my Harry Hill doll so you too will now be able to have as much fun as I do watching TV Burp.The knitting pattern allows you to choose whether to make a fully jointed version as seen here or a slightly simpler non-jointed version.Harry is 50 cm tall and his suit, shoes and socks are all removeable so you can see what he looks like completely naked. YUK!

My vote is for Peter the Duck!
