Alright, pals. I want to get back to actually playing Avowed, so I only have two patterns this week. One would make a nice colonist empire blanket and the other is for those religious zealots out there! Before I show them to you though, I need to write more words here for the search engine robots (I'm so sorry that pattern blogs are also like recipe blogs but it's how things are and we just have to deal with it, ok?), so let's talk about Pillars of Eternity. I, for some reason, had no idea Avowed was a PoE sequel (maybe I should type that out so it isn't confused with Path of Exile?). I was pretty deep in the game and I kept thinking things sounded vaguely familiar, but I had no idea why. I was like, "Oh, this is based on something IRL, isn't it?" or so I kept thinking, and merely strolling around the Living Lands having a good time as a super-weird court auger. The thing is...I PLAYED Pillars of Eternity. I have a fair number of hours in it. But apparentl...

Next week, I might take a little break and jam out some things from Avowed, but this week I've got some Fighters Guild goodies from the Elder Scrolls. I did two versions of the symbol from ESO. I wanted to do the plain sword and then also one with the scrollwork from the banner. Is that called scrollwork? What is scrollwork? I could look it up, but I'm not going to. Also, don't answer. My questions are rhetorical and they are because I need to have more words in these blog posts for the search robots.  But I digress... As usual... No one reads this stuff and that is totally ok. Anywho. Here are the two Fighters Guild symbols. The second one I sort of more had in mind as being a finished blanket...or whatever sort of finished project. Pillow sham? Whatever. You don't need to add any extra rows or columns or anything and can work with the chart as it is for c2c or whatever.  Speaking of which, all of these grids will work for both c2c as well as tapestry crochet. They sho...

FREE Pattern Friday is here again! I went with the Mages Guild this week, which means Fighters Guild is next week. I also really like the Mages Guild rank symbols...sigils...whatever...from Oblivion, so they might be on the to-do list. The Elder Scrolls is providing me with a lot of things to chart and this is good. Also, surely, someone out there wants these? Link back here if you make something cool and share it. You're also welcome to download these grids and make changes to them as you see fit. They will work for colorwork crochet, c2c, and should also be fine if you want to use them for some duplicate stitch knitting. Hell, perler beads. Do it. Live your life. Oh, I threw in the College of Winterhold's symbol from Skyrim because it's technically on theme, and also I like it. Here's Morrowind's Mages Guild. Hella anticlimatic, this one. The best reference I could find was, like, a wood carving? An in-game wood carving. You know what I mean. And I need to put mor...

Look at me pulling off Free Pattern Friday for multiple Fridays in a row just like in the olden days! The rules are the same as always. You're welcome to download and save these charts, resize them, change them if you need to, but please link back here. They are made with crochet in mind, either c2c or tapestry crochet, but you can absolutely use them for other things. What you do with them is up to you - I'm not here to tell you what to do, but instead to provide you with things to do cool things. If you appreciate me providing you with these things, then consider dropping by my Ko-Fi page ! I have a paid pattern shop there with lots of goodies and it's also where I do updates about what I'm working on and new items in my Etsy , etc. etc. Anywho, this week I've got the Dark Brotherhood, which reminds me of the Hand of Sauron cozy pattern I made many years ago. Because it's also a hand. Like. The similarities are uncanny, amirite? Hands. If you want to check out...
