One Dark Gift Chapter 2

"His heart broke a bit to hear her, his Arsinoe, his fierce, tenacious, headstrong Arsinoe sound so broken. It shattered to know there was nothing he could do to take the pain away, to place her sorrow on his shoulders and spare her the trauma."

Summary:

"'A queen once crowned," Luca says, "is crowned forever.'"

When the army of the Legion Queen meets the forces of Queen Katherine not even Julienne Milone’s Legion Curse is enough to withstand mist and a Queen Crowned.

Queen Arsinoe has always been fiery and she longs to disobey her Queensblood and walk away from Fennbirn forever but can she? And can Mirabella recover and leave the allure of Fennbirn and power?

And Queen Katherine, finally free of the Dead Queen’s grasp, will rule in what she hopes will be a peaceful and prosperous reign now that the mist has fallen, and the Legion Queen defeated...if she ever wakes up.

“A peaceful reign will be all the legacy I need.”

But Fennbirn is reeling, the mainland is coming and Katherine’s gift? Is darker than anyone could have predicted. The only question left to ask is how far will Fennbirn’s Queens go to protect their home and themselves?

I forgot that next to being able to count you also need proper reading comprehension when it comes to crochet

Wind bag dice bag!!

Tah dah! I made it for my friend and I'm really proud of it!

Pattern and (hopefully) helpful images below the cut! It doesn't have to be used as a dice bag, it's just the right size to hold a standard set of 7 DnD dice!

If you make your own bag with this pattern, @ me! (Not because I care about credit, I just wanna see it lol)

1. 6sc in mr (6)

2. 6 inc (12)

3. (sc, inc) x6 (18)

4. (2sc, inc) x6 (24)

5. (3sc, inc) x6 (30)

6-17. 30 sc

18. Sc, ch2, skip a st, (2sc, ch2, skip a st) x5, sc (20 sc, 20 ch)

19. 30 sc (put a single sc in each gap)

20. (sc, hdc, [3dc], hdc, sc) x6 (this makes the top have a wavy edge! If you don’t want your bag having it, simply repeat rnd 19)

Fasten off (i recommend using this method!) and thread your drawstring of choice through the 10 small gaps made by rnd 18!

The wispy designs I just slip stitched on!

Fellow crocheter! I heard you mention dragon scale gloves, do you have a pattern by chance?

Oh man I wrote down the pattern so long ago I have it memorized lol. My notes say I originally found it from the Reservoir Fibers youtube channel, so it'd be this video here I think.

They use a pretty thin yarn held double and for some reason they show it with black yarn, which is a pretty bad visual aid. But you can look up "crocodile stitch fingerless gloves" and find other tutorials as well!

Basically it goes like this:

Start with a chain in a multiple of six, which determines the number of scales you will have per row (it will shrink slightly in size once you add the scales. My hand is roughly 7 scales around but I can squeeze into a 6 scale glove. Just make sure the starting chain fits comfortably around the base of your fingers) connect the chain with a slip stitch.

Two options for the foundation under the scales. Either do 2 double crochet (UK treble) in one chain, chain one, skip 2 chains and then do one double crochet in the third chain (and then reverse it, ch1, skip2, 2dc, repeat around) or you can do a V-stutch in place of the 2 doubles, which puts the chain 1 bit in between those 2 dc. Basically you just need a V shape alternating with a regular lone stitch and a chain space to keep things from getting too tight.

And then the tricky part is learning how to do the scales. 5dc around the vertical post of one side of a V, ch1, 5dc around the next post of the V, single crochet on the lone stitch in between the V stitches.

The tutorial recommends turning the glove inside out for every foundation row but this can be avoided by simply working it in the opposite direction from the scales.

Boy I hope I didn't just make that more confusing lol. When I make these gloves, I usually have 6 scale rows, then the thumb hole (which is made by skipping the last lone dc of the foundation and replacing it with 6 chains) and then 6 more scale rows to make it wrist length. To get the cuff a little more snug, just do 3dc in the middle of each scale and then 2dc between each scale to make it a multiple of 5 instead of 6.

If you need to, you can also add an extra scale right before the thumb row, and then shrink it back down after the thumb row, but that is a whole extra step that's usually not necessary!

I use sock weight yarn that's a blend of wool and nylon, but I have seen people make them out of much heavier thick acrylic before, if that's all you have access too. It just means the scales will be a lot thicker and the gloves will be heavier. If you're going to use cotton, make sure it's a soft kind and not the rough sort that's used for washcloths.

Smashing out Mesh (crochet)

So I have been doing a lot of filet and mesh crochet recently and I got to thinking.

There has to be a faster way.

Disclaimer: This is not my original idea, and I will admit that I basically took this and extrapolated. Hence why I'm sharing this for free.

I figured out the equation that tells you how to crochet a lot of rows at the same time.

Caveats:

I've tested this on mesh (3DC blocks) and fillet (4DC blocks) up to 5 rows at a time. I use ergonomic hooks and doing more than that on them just isn't physically comfortable with Super Saver yarn, though I can confirm that a 5 row setup also works with lace weight yarn so if the yarn is thin enough or you're using a Tunisian hook I don't see why you couldn't do more than 5 at a time.

You don't have to use this method, but if you do want to smash out a quick mesh or filet project, you can.

I made this on a 11" tablet so it should be very zoomable on any device for readability.

Enjoy!

the best advice i have for people getting into knitting/crochet or anyone who struggles with written patterns is to TRANSLATE THE PATTERN TO ENGLISH. this helps so much to learn how to read patterns + all the lingo associated with them for example: ch4, sl st to beg to form loop 1: ch2 (counts as 1st dc), 2dc in loop, *ch3, 3dc* 3 times, sl st to 2nd beg ch

written out fully, this becomes: chain four, slip stitch to the first chain to form a loop 1: chain two (counts as first double crochet), two double crochet, *chain three, three double crochet), slip stitch to beginning chain to end round

sure it's longer and it takes some time to write out a whole pattern in this way, but it's SO HELPFUL!!
