There’s a knitted Patrick Dempsey having a great time following in the actor’s footsteps

Patrick Dempsey, star of Grey's Anatomy, Enchanted and Made of Honor, to name a few, has been re-created in miniature knitted form.

There are dedicated Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr pages for Knitted PD, where you can see his various outfits, poses and activities.

To avoid any confusion, Dempsey himself is known as the 'Real Patrick Dempsey', while 'Knitted Patrick Dempsey' has a jolly good time copying the actor's activities, whether that's as the man himself or Grey's Dr. Derek Shepherd (best known to many as McDreamy).

There's no need to ask why, because well, why not?
