The Outer Wilds solar system: complete! It was a true labor of love and I'm so proud of how it turned out 🌌🌠
Video here!
Pattern: my own! Almost everything is some form of flat crochet circle, however, plus some embroidery details. Dark Bramble is partly tapestry crochet, and the quantum moon is movable as it's on a button! :D
Update: Pattern now live!
Yarns: there are many so there's a list below!
Background - Malabrigo Dos Tierras in 'Paris Night' (yes all of it! The border is a different colourway! Looks intentional, right? :P)
Timber Hearth - Life In The Long Grass Twist DK in 'Moorlands' (thank you Northern Yarn)
Attlerock - Woollen Wytch SW Merino DK in 'Overcast' (thank you Woollen Wytch and Alterknit Universe)
The Quantum Moon yarn was held with silver thread and it has a clear button on the back (thank you Hester's Haberdashery)
(Below: all DK Merino/Nylon from Yarnside Hand Dyed Yarn)
Two recent finishes. I pieced the hexagons ages ago — some of the fabrics were the first I bought or from my mum and aunt. Both pieces sat in the WIP box for literal years. I can't remember what I had planned for them, but at least now they're cushion covers.
Such a weird arrangement of the flowers. I don't know where I got the idea from.
I’m so chuffed with how this turned out & I have to say that I’m definitely going to be steaming every tapestry I completed from now on! Steaming really helped to even out the stitches and fluff out those stitches that got a little twisted during the make.
So after a year of work I finished a crow costume I've been working on. I'm not the best at showcasing things (at least I think so), but here's some images of the I did! Ignore the weird blurs in the first image - I thought it best to remove people from the image, privacy and all that.
This was all don't over the course of a year. I was so glad that a lot of people seemed to like it - it was so good having feedback face-to-face with other crafters
I actually got asked about a commission from one of the leather workers at the renaissance faire for the wings. I haven't decided, as it's a massive project, even for the price we discussed. The good thing about this is that she understands how that kind of world works, and has been very understanding when I told her about my illness and that I have times where I can't do much of anything for weeks or so. I've never done a commission, and unsure exactly what to do. But, that's another thought for another day. She gave me her email address and told me to email her if I decide to.
I hope y'all enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed wearing it!
