My Knitted Boyfriend is a pillow with a story. A pillow with personality. To hug, to cuddle and to have a laugh together. Because this is a man who is always in a good mood, sitting on your sofa, on your floor or at your kitchen table. But what he enjoys most is to be in your bed, with your head on his chest and his arms wrapped around you. So that you will never feel alone anymore. Noortje de Keijzer has made two Knitted Boyfriends: white Arthur and dark Steve. With their knitted accessories you can dress them to suit your own tastes. Will you give him glasses, a moustache, a tattoo? The accompanying film illustrates the story of My Knitted Boyfriend.
Just think about it… What if you were trapped under something heavy and the mouse was out of your reach? Scary, right? That's exactly why we have these keyboard shortcuts so you can still use Vimeo until the help arrives.
