A while ago I photographed some Amigurumis in my photo studio for friends who likes to knit small stuffed toys. The result can be seen above and on Flickr if you click on the image.
Lighting small toys is one thing, but getting the light right for wool and threads is quite tricky, especially light colours. To get the structure visible but not blowing out the highlights takes some testing.
Some friends of mine started knitting small toys, more known as amigurumi, which is a japanese thing. Please visit their blog Virkamera (in Swedish only, but the pictures speak for themselves) for more examples.
I helped them with some studio shots of the amigurumis when I had some time to spare. The result came out pretty nice, I think. Some are cute, others are creepy.

Amigurumi dog in sunset, sort of.
