the knight shirt

"it might end up too small, and i'll have to give it to someone else."

"maybe to me?"

nephew got his very own net shirt (without having to wait for my other project to fail), and it was dubbed a knight shirt!

considering i 1) used my own winged/in-progress pattern 2) didn't have basically any measurements, the fit ended up great! much more of a long tunic than intended, but honestly it just contributed to the knight look.

the fact he could pause tearing through the presents to put it on tells me he really liked it. couldn't get a better pic tho, because there were swords to open and test out. we'll see if i can get him to model it for me for more pics, but i probably won't post them here and just show them to friends.

i'm working on a similar shirt for myself from chunkier yarn. tragically lost one finished piece on the train. not too tragic tho, it doesn't take long to make.

#crochet #reitzcraft #i might post the pattern if i ever get it to that point #it would be one where you have to do math before you start #but we'll see #i need to get some good pics of the vest before making a similar post about it #next sewing project will either be a tabard kinda deal #or i'll finally do the sweat shop with my friend #plan is to take a weekend or smth to mass produce tank tops and t shirts for ourselves #they have a serger and other good equipment cos their first degree is in textiles #(they're a dental technician now) (or whatever the proper title is in english)#tho we need to first get the fabrics and patterns sorted out #i also have some old sheets to process so the friend can have weaving therapy and make a rug for me #but first. going to enjoy the rest of the hols and also write #i have written a bit but not enough #today i'm going to treat myself with proper writing time
