Finished

Ok it's finished! The beanie is a simple hdc in the round starting with 8 sitchs, working increases for the first 5 rounds, the just hdc till row 11, work 12-13 in an alternating front/back post ribbing.
The beard is just alternating rows of bobble and sc, with a chain 5 in the middle of the 3rd bobble row, and when working the last sc row do bobble stitch 3 times in the chain for a little mustache.
I need to get my laptop back so I can reload all my software and get back to writing out patterns (my phone auto corrects any crochet terms into other words) and be able to get back to my fairy tail piece I was working on.

WIP Commission

I was requested a new born bearded beanie. I just finish the beard section and wanted to share. Taking photo with my new phone so hopefully the photos will all look better.

WIP FairyTail shrug

I have finished the back panel but my laptop is once again broken so I can't finish working the front of the pattern up.  Which I am itching to do which sucks so much.

New Pattern in progress

Spring is here which means tank tops are coming back out.  I wanted to make a cover up themed by one of my favorite manga's FairyTail by Hiro Mashima.

This is the back pannel of the piece, the FairyTail Guild emblem worked in filet crochet.

I have not tested it yet just finished working up the chart, I still need to work up a sample and figure out how I want to finish the front of it.

MLP Nightmare Moon Finished

 I have finally finished this one.  I am not happy with the eyes at all.  I made a templet to use to sponge the paint on and that worked well, its just painting on black is not easy or forgiving.  Unlike the last pony I did, this one had different eyes more almond shaped with a slit pupil. 
I had done a crochet version of the helmet but it was just way to bulky so I decided the helmet, cutie mark, and necklace would all have to be done in felt. 
Doing it that way makes it so the helmet and necklace are both removable.
Since I could not find a pattern for this pony I mashed up bits from the Apple Jack I did and free handed the rest.  I really like how the wings came out but you cant see that from the photos it is so hard to get a good photo of black yarn.  
I am hoping my niece loves it, as her birthday party is next weekend.

 

WIP -- What a Nightmare

So as requested by my niece for her birthday I am making yet an other MLP.  This one is called Princess Nighatmare Moon  and I was not able to find a pattern for her 'nightmare' version so I am just making it up as I go.

I know I still need to make the wings, main, tail, neckless, and  a horn.  After that I need to figure out how I want to make her 'cutie' mark wich is on both sides of her hind end as a purple cloud and crescent moon.   I want to do it in felt as that will be far easier then trying to crochet and sew as I would have to sew threw a lot of layers (pony/leg/cloud/moon) and I think it would also look more bulky then if I felt it.  So now I just have to see if I have the felt in the colors I need (or buy them if I dont).

This is currently what I am procrastinating doing, what might you be procrastinating?

Mini Flower Hat Octo

 So I have not created anything new in a long time as I have not been feeling very creative.

Animeggroll was running low on amigurumis so I decided to see if I could make some octos. While doing that I decided to try and make a mini flower hat octo - here is my results.

I was only able to get a four peddle flower and still have the octo work with out rippling up.  If there is any demand I can chart and write out a pattern for it, but as of right now it only excists in my head as I just winged it as I was going.

Do you have an idea you thinkn I can bring to life?  Leave a comment and maybe it will inspire me.

Now I am back off to working on a Nightmare Moon MLP for someones birthday.
