Obviously, if you know my surname, I’m partial to wool and knitting. The tools. The result. The worker. Ragtag Daily Prompt: Knit PS: The doll has been crocheted but its clothes have been knitted.
Tag: Pumuckl
Hurra! Hurra! Der Kobold mit dem roten Haar!
This Kobold is known to children in Germany since the 1960s. His name is Pumuckl and he lives with a carpenter in Munich. He first appeared in a successful children’s radio series in the early sixites, and shortly thereafter there were books about him. He became a lot more famous with his own tv series in the 1980s – it was filmed with live actors and Pumuckl was drawn in as a cartoon and voiced by a famous German actor, Hans Clarin. Many famous German actors appeared in the series and the series has aged well.
He even has an English wikipedia entry: Meister Eder und sein Pumuckl
I crocheted this a few years back for our grandson. And here is a mural – Pumuckl loves to turn up at playgrounds:
Is it an imp, a sprite, a hobgoblin, a pixie or something else?
What kind of a creature is a Pumuckl? You have to watch the German children’s TV show to find out. Anyway, here are two of his kind.
