Made a dinosaur from a dinosaur-knitting-patternbook, aside from the difference of finishing, I feel mine's a noodle :P

Mr. Book is so much chunkier somehow :O

(someone help, poor Mr. Noodle is looking for the pockets)

((no one tell him I didn't give him any because it'd look weird on him))

Now with an aquatic version... and derpy eyes.

Everyone meet Mrs. Derpadon, the derpy Plesiosaur :D

Made a Plush inspired by two Fanfic-characters;

Virilomë from my fanfic 'Weft of Shadow' ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/53177056 ) For those interested, Virilomë is an Ungoliant that was first met by Vairë, instead of Melkor :D

and

Alaná in Chapter 117 from 'And I Feel Fin-e' ( https://archiveofourown.org/works/41126841/chapters/163148224 ) by @mynameisjessejk

Turned failed scarf (too little wool to make it long enough) and a failed belt (same) into a booksleeve :D

Some band-weaves I made.

Can you guess all the images I (intended) to put in there?

Yarn-art version, with tutorial under the Read More

Necessities: -Yarn in colour of choice (advise: use tightly spun ones to prevent accidental stabbing of yarn) - Substrate (I like to use woodslices, but anything that can hold nails is fine) - Nails (I use 1,6 mm wide, 25 mm long ones. The most important bit is that they have heads, to keep yarn from sliding off) - Paper (use easily to tear, ala newspaper-quality ;) ) - Hamer - Pattern (Use one with lots of large areas, think smoll child colouringpage. Small spaces will make you be sad)

Draw out your pattern of choice on the paper and make sure it sticks to the substrate by hammering some nails in the middle. For locations to hammer; first any places the lines change direction, then fill the lines in between. I advise keeping at least one finger-width between them. You can put more or less on lines as you desire. I use two colours to differentiate between different parts of the pattern, but you can use more or less. Hammer them in about halfway, to make sure they are firmly in, but there’s also enough space for yarn-wrappings.

Hammer along, being carefull of your fingers. I prefer doing different parts after the other, working from the inside to the outside and smallest areas first.

Keep hammering until you feel you covered enough to get all the patterns down. (Yes, on this pic, I am still missing a line)

Work out all the frustration of having to figure out the spacing by tearing up the paper :D Make sure you have a different, untorn version of your picture to later be able to tell which colour goes where. You might want to gently poke the nails now, and hammer any that got a bit loose here.

Start yarning up, layering the colours as they would in real life (aka, the colours in the back go first) I tie the one end of the yarn around a nail I know will be covered with another colour, as much as possible, to hide it. For a nice finish, first fill the shape by doing W-shapes with the yarn as possible and then do the edges, wrapping the yarn around the outside, this will make sure the lines look nice and smooth. Make sure you end where you started, so you can tie both ends together for a secure finish.

Colour-layer 2. You can see the W-shape I mean here quite nicely.

Colour-layer 3: I outlined these twice, once around the inside and once around the outside, to lift it off the background colours more.

Colour-layer 4: The main yarn-art is done :D Finish it by tucking in and ends under their colours. Here you decide whether you want to add any decorations, like pompoms or bows, or whatever.

I decided to fill the top with some buttons to simulate bubbles rising from the tea-bath ;)

You can now hang it somewhere, or use one of those plate-stands to display it on your windowsill, if it is small enough.

New outfit :) The dress was hell to make and I can probably never take it off XD

My work :D

Some of my textile-crafts are displayed. It’s just at the local library to showcase some courses one can take through it, but I am still proud :D Mine is the doll with orange scarf and everything to the right of it.
