This method was totally new to me, and with the right shade of thread I think you could make eyes that are almost too realistic!

With more patience and a thinner thread you'd get the perfect thin jumper, a twin set or similar.

Before that I need to buy thinner, more flesh coloured thread for the folds of the eyelids; here he looks like he's been smearing on a thick layer of Mum's green eye shadow, no? Or has he read too much of Queenie Patch's 'Stitch for Life' and not understood one word? He'd better read a P.G.
