Who hasn’t dreamed of their own wings?

I can’t believe they’re done, and I made them! I bought this crochet pattern by Crafty Intentions on Etsy a year ago because I stumbled across it and wanted my own wing shawl so badly!

Only one problem: I didn’t know how to crochet.

And so the PDF sat in my inbox for an entire year.

Then, earlier this summer I finally got around to teaching myself the basics of crochet and how to read a pattern.

This is my second crochet project following a pattern 😬 - that’s what hyper focus and a dream will do for you!

I used a wool and acrylic blend, worsted weight yarn in three different shades of brown.

This pattern was fantastic. Each feather felt like an accomplishment, and everything was so well explained, it came together just naturally. All in I think it took around 50 hours over 3 weeks.

The wings are over 6’ long! And the bottom two rows of feathers are bordered with single crochet in the color of the row above it. I didn’t border the top row.

I love how they came out, it’s wonderfully heavy and I feel like some sort of great owl witch in it which is a vibe I can get behind.

Also many thanks to my 5yo for the photoshoot and taking these great pictures of mama! ❤️

My beautiful Cassiopeia, the dragon of spring!! I’m sooo proud of how she turned out honestly!

She sat on my desk for over a year waiting for me to complete her. At the time she was a monochrome white and black dragon but I just couldn’t find a fitting way to bring her to completion! So I started from scratch!

I am so pleased with how this is turning out! Though I did realise after I’d already complete the shell that I’d accidentally made the wrong size, oh no! I have enough white handspun to make up the correct larger size, so I’m just gonna have to make the small snail body using my christmas advent handspuns. Snail party incoming 🐌 🐌 🐌

WE GOT THERE PALS

Honestly, the part I’m most impressed with is that I managed to get a picture of the glowing yarn. It worked it worked it worked! 😄

Black Friday anyone?

I finished this last weekend, but I held off sharing because I didn't want her to overshadow my shop update and bags that I've been aggressively posting!

BUT HERE SHE IS: Meleys, The Red Queen! In yarn!

Pattern by Megan Lapp of Crafty Intentions - "Large Wyvern" available here.

The 'Large' is no joke! I'm sorry I didn't include anything for scale in my pictures (unless you count the leaves). If I stretch her wings out, her wing span is over 3'. She took almost three 7 oz skeins of worsted yarn and I used an awful lot of 2mm armature wire. I should have used 3mm for some parts (elbows and legs) because I ended up having to quadruple (or more) the wire in places to support the weight of the yarn. Instead of the single ridge of back spikes down the neck and back in the pattern, I decided to give her a smooth back and two shorter spike ridges just on her neck. I thought about a third ridge but decided against it. Her eyes are white, which I thought looked good with the red.

In my mind, she is a simplified yarn interpretation of (show) Meleys. (Book) Meleys had pink wing membranes. I wanted to use this bright af red and there isn't a pink that looked good with it imo, so solid red!

I'd really like to make a second one in pink ombre yarn maybe with some black. Yeah, I want to make Morning, if you're a nerd and have read Fire and Blood. This took forever though and I can't in good conscience make another one for myself just yet because I have to work on making things for other people for money.

Can you commission one of these from me? Yes, you can. But it will not be cheap. This pattern is not something to be trifled with. It's a lot of yarn and A LOT of time - at least a week of solid work, and I'm talking 8-10 hour days. I will not do one of these for you for less than $700. Seriously. If you're interested, I'm willing to make little customizations too like if you want fin details instead of spikes down the back and at the tail tip (e.g. Seasmoke) - this will cost more. Black will also cost more. Message me on Facebook for commissions.

I would love love love to make Sunfyre for someone in yellow-gold with pink wings...just sayin.

Started this project back in November before I had safety eyes but now my rainbow of dragons is finally complete!! I wanted each dragon to stay monochrome to its own colour rather than having different coloured wings (except black and white)

About a year ago I posted Starlight, a western dragon. I finally completed her brother Sunshine!

I separated the light and dark colors of a cake of yarn and made two dragons out of it

Crochet Project 32: Bob the Impkin (Bits&Bobs)

I made another friend! My second finished Crafty Intentions pattern!

Named him Bob because I made him with pieces of leftover yarn.
