Knitting ninja Hannah Simpson, who created all of these woollen wonders:

"The start of my knitting madness.

"This is my 'desert island film' in that if I were stranded on a desert island, i could recite the whole thing like a radio play, including sound effects, music and credits."

Han Solo

Han Solo

"Other girls might want to marry Han, but I want to be him.

"I also want to marry him.

"I'm not sure what that says about me and, come to think of it, I don't care. Just remember kids - Han shot first."

"The original is a classic. Sometimes I put the soundtrack on and leave the front door open while I'm doing the washing up, just for thrills.

"The best part of the so-called remake is when Ving Rhames eats his own eyes, I know exactly how he felt."

Ash

Ash

"Ash stood half finished on my mantelpiece for the best part of a year while I worked out the logistics of knitting a tiny chainsaw.

"4000 attempts later, he was finished. When I sold him, I cried all the way to the Post Office."

Freddy Krueger

Freddy Krueger

"I had a hard time trying to make Freddy Krueger look menacing.

"Then I realised it was never going to happen because Freddy Krueger is a funny idiot and to misrepresent this would be a smirch on my artistic integrity. So, voila!"

Hellboy

Hellboy

"I'm not the Hellboy fan, my boyfriend is.

"After I made this, Mike Mignola's wife emailed me and asked me to make one for their collection.

"In return, he sent a Hellboy sketch which I look at every day and think, 'Did that actually happen?'".

The Joker

The Joker

"My favourite film character of 2008.

"If I ever go insane I will be sure to do it properly, like this guy."

Michael Myers

Michael Myers

"You just don't get murderers like Michael Myers any more.

"He never runs, just marches briskly at a determined pace.

"This film has every cliche in the book, but that's OK, because the book was based on this film."

Sadako

Sadako

"The first horror film I watched since I was a kid that actually scared me.

"Likewise, the first knitted figure I made that was truly creepy.

"She fell off the shelf one night and for a second I thought she was crawling towards me.

"I sold her shortly afterwards."

Ed, Shaun & Liz

Ed, Shaun & Liz

"When I heard they were making this film, I sat outside the Odeon for 18 months so I could be first in.

"Then I watched it 200 times in a row."

"Well, no. But I was excited and I do love it."

"If I ever meet Simon Pegg I will give him a big kiss on the lips, wife or no wife."

You can also visit her shop and give her money.
