How about some knitting goals/plans for 2018?

First up, the WIPs, as pictured above. I would love to see all of these finished this year.

Critical Role Blanket

https://rannadylin.tumblr.com/tagged/cr-blanket

This has been in progress since November 2016, i.e. back when I was also writing a bunch of Perc’ahlia fic. :-) Why is it stalled? Well, for one, I got distracted by other projects; but mainly because I’ve knitted up all the panels I had charted and run out of things to chart. I wanted to make a Taryon panel and a Tiberius panel but the original set of character logos I was charting didn’t include those and I have yet to come up with a chartable idea for what they should look like. (Suggestions are welcome… :-D) Then I thought about making panels for NPCs/Villains to round out the blanket but…same issue, starting from scratch to chart a panel is a lot more complicated than when I have suitable artwork to start with.

I’m thinking now I might just chart out panels with individual letters spelling out VOX MACHINA and arrange those with the character panels. Would really like to get this thing done at long last.

Heroes of Yarnia RPG Knit-along

https://rannadylin.tumblr.com/tagged/heroes-of-yarnia

Well, it’s long past the actual knitting along stage (they’re starting the third in this series of scarves now I think?) but I would like to finish this double-knitted scarf! It’s another one that got put aside when other projects distracted me; I have no other excuse.

I’ll probably finish this one before the scarf! Same reason for stalling on it – other projects got bumped to the top of the queue. But I have the yarn and the patterns and no reason not to finish it this year.

Gloves of Missile Snaring

https://rannadylin.tumblr.com/tagged/gloves-of-missile-snaring

Technically the first pair of gloves is done; but I was working on a second pair in order to fix some fit issues and also get the pattern written out to share. The difficulty is in sizing it for different sized hands and so this, too, got put aside in favor of other projects at some point.

There are some other WIPs, like the pair of socks I keep at school to work on (it’s almost finished and will soon be replaced by another pair on the needles, so that’s no big issue), a Winterberry sweater that, like most of these WIPs, got set aside for other projects, and a Kelmscott that just needs seaming and has just needed seaming for years, why am I like this? I would like to finish those but am not as in love with them as the fandom projects. Which brings us to the NEW projects I’d like to make this year…

More Pillars of Eternity Dolls!

Dolloth (https://rannadylin.tumblr.com/tagged/aloth-doll) needs a Dollegina and an Edóll to keep him company, don’t you think? I’d be glad to also do more custom Watcher dolls for commissions, and I’ll probably do dolls of my own Watchers at some point. Time to find orlan-appropriate fun fur yarn for Violet, I guess? I already have Lenneth’s hair color yarn ready to go so I should start with her, I guess!

Vox Machina Hat

I was working on a prototype/pattern for a Fair Isle Critical Role hat to do a knit-along in the Knit ‘n’ Crit Ravelry group, and my charted designs were just not turning out so that went back to the drawing board. I’m thinking I could chart silhouettes of the characters? Maybe? Eventually I’ll figure this out. (I also have vague ideas for Sox Machina patterns…) Of course, with the new campaign starting, maybe I should chart THOSE silhouettes…

Pillars of Eternity Blanket Panels

As if I don’t have enough of these double-knit blanket projects to finish (cf. the WIP list above), I’d like to start charting panels for a PoE blanket. This post has a bunch of symbols related to PoE 2 that would work splendidly for charting, plus the rest of the gods’ symbols in the guidebook would be pretty straightforward to chart. Who knows what inspiration Deadfire will add…

I have reached the phase in this cycle of knitting where I don't want to make anything, I just want to buy more yarn.

Which, is fine, you know, never have enough yarn. But, good, independent spinner/dyer yarns are expensive, and there's something about paying $30+ for a skein of yarn that I know is going to sit in a tote for gods know how long before I makes something with it that's, kinda sad.

I want to make pretty things with the pretty yarn, but my brain doesn't have the ability to focus on anything for more than an hour and I know if I start a project and put it down for more than a day I very well may never pick it up again. (Guiltily looks at my Heroes of Yarnia project that I haven't touched in nearly four years)

Pattern available in my @Ravelry store, link in profile!    This pattern is a part of the Yarn Quest 2018 - The Steam Age eBook. Ebook contains all 3 patterns that will be released for this year’s Yarn Quest adventures. To celebrate the 4th anniversary of Epic Knits, we’ve traveled to a new era in Yarnia - The Steam Age! Much like Yarn Quest 2017 - Heroes of Yarnia RPG MKAL this campaign will play out over 8 weeks, and we’ll be knitting a very special mix and match scarf. What charts you knit will be determined through random numbers rolled either by dice or through a random number generator. Never played in an RPG before? No problem! There will be plenty of instructions to walk you through your adventure. We’ll also be hosting a forum thread in the Epic Knits group to chat about our adventures. . . . #epicknits #yarnquest2018 #yarnquest #thesteamage #knit #knitting #knitstagram #knittersofinstagram #instaknit #doubleknitting #doubleknit #doubleknittersofig #doubleknitterofinstagram #Ravelry

I started a thing! There’s a really awesome pattern that mixes D&D and Knitting. Obviously epic.

Here's some better pics of it after I shaved all the fuzzies off of it and some of it modeled my my roommate!

(Bonus pics of Ripley modeling it)

The pattern is Tania Richter's " Winged Triangle Shawl" in Vogue Knitting fall 2015

I bought it from Ravelry here https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/25-winged-triangle-shawl

I really love these patterns! This is the second one I've done, other being a "heros of yarnia" scarf. I can't recommend them enough!

A year of knitting done! My hands hurt. It's 6am, I'm tired but I just finished this and had to post it. I'll get better pics tomorrow! And find the pattern link.

SIGH... To new beginnings

I still LOVE the Elis Cowl pattern, so I found a skein of Red Heart Boutique - Unforgettable in colorway Cappuchino.

I have high hopes to just finish this as the pattern dictates, and get that productive feeling back with a bonus of being able to wear a warm and fuzzy cowl afterwards.

I think the super-deluxe hot chocolate mix with a shot of Kahlua helps. Sporting my Heroes of Yarnia mug too. 

Here goes!

The heroes of yarnia chapter 1 is complete! Now my character ventures out into the wilds and her adventure, with only her feline companion (who is actually a dragon apparently) and her circular needle nunchucks to protect her. On to another roll of the dice to find out what happens next!!! #knitting

[stitchesandfiber]

Today was the monthly spinning meet at the LYS and as you can see it was quite productive. I think I’ve never before spun so much in one day and I’m very happy. I finished the first half of the BFL braid I was working on and then started on another project, a very nice braid of BFL and tussah silk. Managed to get about 60g done on that one, too. I’ve got 200g total of that fiber and I’m hoping it’ll work for the “Heroes of Yarnia”-KAL because I sooooo want to do that.

Just to add if you want to take Yarnia into a knitting project, Ravelry has a free pattern that is set up like a D&D campaign, you knit a scarf that is unique to you because the chart you use is dependant on your character and dice rolls.

‪I have decided that the mysterious dimension that eats my hooks and scissors when I put them down for a second is called Yarnia. ‬

Geeks love to combine their hobbies. Just ask anyone that’s written up RPG rules for their favorite TV show or movie. As for knitting, doesn’t take much digging on crafty sites like Etsy or Ravelry to find geeky patterns and products of all kinds. Tania Richter takes geek crafting to ...

Clue 1 finished. Epic Knits- Yarn Quest- Heroes of Yarnia- RPG MKAL.

[rannadylin]

Finished with clue 2 on my Yarn Quest blanket! Either that clue 1 dragon came back, or I'm contending with both Brimscythe AND Raishan?

Seems to be some sort of knitting game? What you end up with depends on your stats and possibly your encounters.
