BEHOLD MY DRAGON!!!

I just finished this, and I am so happy with how it came out, especially since it was a bear to stitch. Numerous blends, *way* too many fractional stitches, a call for blending filament which makes you pay for the lovely shimmer it bestows by being the biggest pain to stitch with, and the fact that I used evenweave instead of my usual aida combined to make this one of the most difficult pieces I've tackled (don't let the size fool you).

But it was worth it!

For any brave adventurers who want to try stitching their own, the pattern in 'Dragon Rampant' (yes, I know it should be saliant) by Teresa Wentzler, available here absolutely free of charge: http://www.twdesignworks.com/Free/dragonrampant.html

spidergwen embroidery :))

i took that weird slant picture so you can sort of see the texture of this new stitch i was trying for the black, it’s called the web stitch so you can probably guess why i used it :3

I've been working on this for the last couple of months now but I've almost finished my big Our Flag Means Death pattern, just a couple of edits to make and then I'll finish the hoop!

I'm slowly relearning how to knit, but I've crocheted for decades. This post really spoke to me as someone whose needlearts soothe my soul and decrease my anxiety.

Threadwork to process grief, a gift for a loved one, or for the sake of creation...perhaps that is why I produce so many wearables, whether a shawl, hat, or blanket. A woven shield, whether by hook or by needle.

I have this conviction that you tie little bits of your intentions into your knitting as you do it.  Thousands and thousands of tiny knots all in a row, turning string into something useful–whether you believe in magic or not, I can’t shake the certainty that there’s something meaningful there.

Which means that when you knit a project marathoning ten hours of this or twenty episodes of that TV show, listening to that podcast, reading that book…it ends up in there.  This is the sweater knit to kids’ cartoons, the kind where nobody dies, and it’s soft and it’s safe and it’s warm.  This hat came from Stranger Things, and it’s a shield against darkness, it’ll keep you safe.  These are the Leverage socks for remembering how much your found family loves you, the Persona shawl for the guts to say ‘fuck it’.  This is the knitwear you put on to save the world.

(Like a lot of things humans think, I’m pretty sure this one is absolutely true in exactly the amount the knitter and the object-wearer believe it is.)

A couple of years ago, I made some Geralt and Jaskier keychains for a friend, and with the new season, I got inspired to clean them up! I've added them as a free pattern on my KoFi if you'd like to give them a go!
