Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon = game of the year, bugs and all, and it's only June. I will not write a game review here and instead will just leave you with a FREE pattern (and it isn't even Friday!). This pattern should certainly work for c2c crochet or tapestry crochet. You can use it for duplicate stitch knitting or cross stitch or whatever. Perler beads. Seriously, whatever. Just link back here and credit me a little bit for my tedious clicking.  I realize it is not centered as I like my patterns to be. it should be 41 stitches across if you want it centered on the field. You can figure that out, right? Maybe? It is very easy math, and I hope you can sort that out.  Anywho... This is the Kamelot heraldry, sigaldry, or whatever you want to call it - the Kamelot symbol. You see it on tabards and banners. Kamelot sucks, but I did try to romance that grumpy woman in Cuanacht, and for some reason it's the first thing I decided to pattern. Probably because it was everywhe...

Get the guild's sigil here . I made it a while back. It's smaller than these, but doesn't have a border. These all have a small border. It's tall though. Some of these are also tall. I meant to do these a while back when I was on my Elder Scrolls kick and then they slipped my mind because I ended up rabbit holing into Pillars of Eternity (I have some more Pillars stuff planned btw). I'm also playing Daggerfall on Twitch - no longer just on weekends! - so stop by if that will amuse you. I'm working my way through all of the Elder Scrolls games. I figure I'll be done by the time 6 comes out. lololol Don't forget to check out my Ko-Fi page for more patterns and stuff, and my Etsy if you want to buy finished items. Commissions are on Ko-Fi. Please don't message me about custom items on Etsy. Them fees are too high. Deal with me directly. I am a real person, I promise.   Feel free to save, edit, use these charts for whatever tf you want. If you make a c...

I did these charts early and got the post all situated then just saved it as a draft instead of scheduling it to post automatically. This was 100% my bad. My brain is full of holes. I'm still going to count it as a Free Pattern Friday post...just belated.   Shifting gears again this week, apparently. I've been meaning to do the cross of the Zakarum/Cathedral of Light from Diablo for ages and ages. I kept forgetting. I remembered again and I stopped everything I was doing and made the chart at that moment then I also decided to do the more elaborate Sin War version because why not?   Here are both. Have at 'em. Save them, edit them, but link back here and give appropriate credit because I did the bulk of the pixel clicking.  Consider dropping a little dono onto my Ko-Fi and checking out my paid patterns or visiting my Etsy shop which is having a massive clearance sale right now because I'm feeling crowded in my craft space by all of the languishing items.

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...

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...

  A decade ago (literally 2014), I made a little version of the Magician Teensy from Rayman Legends , and I made a totally useless blog post with very lazy instructions. It might be one of my most unhinged blog posts from the ye olde days, and you can see it right here if you want some lols. For years I've been wanting to remake this and make an actual pattern. After a great struggle, I finally did it.  This version is larger (because I hate working small because I can't see anymore), and it's not in slip stitch (because wtf why did I make this entire thing in slip stitch anyway). You can absolutely use this pattern as a base for other Teensies or even Rayman if you're smort. You can snag a PDF, ad-free version of the pattern here (which is also free of all these extra rambling words). The paid version includes a lot of additional images not included in this post, for some bonus help with assembly should you need it.  Now, hear me out, I know the Magician I made that...

UPDATE 2/11/23: This is going on the maybe to-do list to make slightly smaller versions! Smaller is more versatile! I know!   My lame, employed self managed to miss the Destiny 2 faction rally last week because having a job like an adult is exhausting. I've even been too tired to play video games - imagine that! This is the worst. It's cool being able to buy things, but not cool that I'm too tired to do anything with the things I buy. While I wander the galaxy without a faction, I made some colorwork charts for you, Internet. I've used the Future War Cult chart before (it's old and you need to ignore the two-toned background blue - that should totally be solid). I made Dead Orbit and New Monarchy mere moments ago, so the latter two might need some slight adjustments depending on your gauge and needs for your project.  All should work for colorwork crochet, duplicate stitch knitting, cross-stitch and whatever other crafts make use of grids. These are fre...

UPDATE 2/18/23: Cleaned up the Qunari emblem. UPDATE 2/11/23: I'm going to to touch these up a bit and make smaller versions. It's on the 2023 to-do! Make sure you're following me on Facebook to see when I make these updates! Also, with Dreadwolf coming out soon (eventually), you can absolutely expect some new Dragon Age patterns!   Part 1: Antivan Crows, Circle of Magi, Dalish, Inquisition Part 2: Kirkwall, Legion of the Dead, Seekers of Truth Alright, friends! Long time, no post. I'm slacking on this blog big time. Feel free to shame me. I deserve it. I was asked to procure some Qunari and Tevinter heraldry charts, and I also found an unfinished Templar chart, which is now finished. The Qunari chart was totally done, but I clearly forgot to include it in my two previous Dragon Age posts. I haven't tested any of these charts, but they should be good for tapestry crochet, duplicate stitch, cross stitch or whatever is your fancy. The Tevinter chart doesn't ...

UPDATE 2/8/23: I'm going to make a smaller version of this! It's on the list of stuff to do that I'm making as I go through all of my very old posts! Make sure you're following me on Facebook (below) for updates! And meanwhile, I do have stuff in my Etsy shop ! This grid is free to use for whatever you like. It should be suitable for tapestry crochet, duplicate stitch knitting, or whatever else you want to try to use it for. I recommend right-clicking on the image below and opening it in a new tab in order to access the full-size version (depending on your browser). Visit (and also pls like) my Facebook page for more updates and stuff. I'm unsure how many Gears of War players also engage in activities with yarn other than myself, but whatever! Maybe you need to make something for someone who is a fan of series. Well, here's a chart to help. lolol

UPDATE 2/6/23: I no longer stock these hats. I will make them custom though and I no longer make them this way. I now make them solid blue and duplicate stitch on the lettering.  If you're interested in a custom order, head to my Etsy page to see my commission status. It will be in the announcement at the top!  Who buys knitwear out of season? Cosplayers do. Why didn't I think of this sooner? I whipped up a prototype of Phoenix Wright's 'Papa' beanie from Ace Attorney and I've got plans for a few other con-season hats as well. I'm working on so many things, guys. I must confess that I'm not terribly familiar with the Ace Attorney series. Despite my love of television law dramas, I'm not sure "visual novel legal thriller" is a genre that I would enjoy in the video game realm. I like my video games to be filled with sex and violence. Boobs and explosions. Persistent gore always toggled on. You know. To each their own though. I also enjoy ...

UPDATE 1/26/23: These were an absolute bust! I love them and ended up with two on my old backpack. I gave the others away as free surprises with other orders. Womp womp! If you stumbled across this post and you want one, you're welcome to request I make one. I'm not sure I have any of the adhesive backing left. I handsewed mine onto my backpack like they were patches.  Check out my Etsy to see what I have available now! Check my Ravelry for patterns! I also have a Ko-Fi ! Wtf Are Crochet Stickers?! Well, a lot of people make embroidered patches. I've accepted the fact that I don't find sewing particularly enjoyable in any form. I do, on the other hand, find crocheting to be quite enjoyable. I'm sure someone else out there in the world has made crochet patches before. I know everyone makes crochet appliqués. I'm not sure if anyone has given them adhesive backing to make application effortless for the laziest of humans. Again, I don't find sewing very enj...

UPDATE 1/27/23: I still have my Zer0 suit! Of course! WHY WOULDN'T I. I did scrap the Cyberking helmet though. I've played with the idea of making it from foam clay, but I don't have the time at the moment. For the latest updates on my 7645 projects, follow me on Facebook ! Take a look at my current FOR SALE inventory on Etsy . I guess I should have posted this yesterday on WIP WEDNESDAY. But I didn't. Zer0 Suit I've painted up to the knee of the left leg! I'm using Jones Tones Stretchable Paint diluted to various levels. It's working fan-fucking-tastic. No joke. It is performing wonderfully on the spandex parts of the suit and it's also working just fine on the felt and the fosshape . Fosshape is also amazing. I stitched the armor pieces on and then hardened and formed them. My one fosshape pointer? It shrinks when you harden it. I'm sure it says that somewhere. I'm hoping to continue up the left leg this weekend AND start the sword. I...
