#pattern is the large wyvern by crafty intentions

[akirameta84]

this pattern has so many steps for wires but it doesnt seem to consider the people who prefer floppy stuffed animals. for starters i have no wire, but i dont want it to be posable or forced up. i want it to be loose and completely floppy. it can just lay down but not stand on its own, and thats fine.

wheres the love for floppy plushies???

Large Wyvern Pattern by Crafty Intentions!

[woollyrhinocrafts]

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.

i get closer to finishing this dragon one step at a time. finished one wing in its entirety. just one more before moving onto extra details

this fucker is a pain in and ass. and back. because its too big for me to sew at my desk so i hunch over in my bed lmfao

but its looking as good as my last wyvern (pattern is large wyvern by crafty intentions!), and unlike the last, ill be doing all extras too so its properly finished (horns, back spikes, belly)
