I spent this whole week making a murloc so that I could make a companion video for my baby murloc pattern. So I've got no free pattern this week. Womp womp. Get the $$$ pattern from Ravelry !  Or Ko-Fi ! Or if for some reason you want to support the evil corporate overlords at Etsy, you can pay EXTRA to line those shareholder pockets instead of mine...on Etsy ! Giggidy! The video can be viewed for free. The pattern is not free. The pattern is money. It is not a full video pattern because I want you to buy the pattern, obviously. Milk and cows and whatever. The video means little unless you have the pattern, but here it is anyway because I need to write words for the internet search robots so that people find this blog and then find the posts that are actually cool things. There are a lot of cool things here. I tediously did the captions for this video myself. Videos take so long. Even if they aren't very good like mine. It's part of my charm though. It's my aesthetic....

  MRRRRRGGGRRRLLLLL! Today is the day! The day has finally arrived! MRRRGRRRGGLLLL! The Murloc Hood pattern is available to the masses! Grab yourself a thicc crochet hook and your favorite murloc colors and get this pattern! You can get it on Ko-Fi , Ravelry , or you can be weird and pay more for it on Etsy . I strongly encourage you to use Ko-Fi or Ravelry and also check out my Ko-Fi in general because I offer some cool monthly pattern subscriptions! As with all of my patterns, it is in US English, and here are the rest of the deets for you to get your murloc on. Mrrrrggglll! This is an INTERMEDIATE pattern because there’s a good bit of assembly and there are a lot of pieces, so get ready to do some sewing! It’s suitable for an adventurous beginner and it’s a good project to customize with all sorts of different color combinations! There are step-by-step pictures throughout and a bunch of extra pictures at the end of a finished hood. You can either work the main part of the hood w...

UPDATE 2/12/23: I don't want to go into great detail about the decision to scrap Sylvanas. It was a recent one and it was not done lightly. To save you from a lot of angst, I'm just going to say that the more I looked at the word I'd done, the more I wished I'd used royal blue instead of navy.  The Recap: I started this idiotic/genius project over three years ago, but I worked on it very sporadically until about 9 months ago because I had no money because making things for people doesn't quite pay all the bills and also allow one to afford the shitloads of yarn and other things I needed for this personal project. I got a real job, so I had money, but then I had no time - the Great Adult Paradox, I suppose! I wanted to pull this off for DragonCon this year, but if you follow me on any social medias, you know that I worked on it nonstop and then even worked on it at the con and crashed and burned. I didn't have time for all of the detailing and I'm a huge ...

UPDATE 2/11/23: I had to admit this but I scrapped this project, and I did it pretty recently. This pattern is still good though for some fingerless mitts or a base for any sort of crochet cosplay gauntlets. Visit Etsy to see my current ready-to-ship inventory as well as check my commission status. There are a lot of patterns out there for fingerless mitts. I wanted a pair of solid, sturdy ones for my Ranger-General Sylvanas gauntlets. If you keep up with my Facebook , you know that I've gone insane and I'm crocheting a Sylavanas cosplay based on her Ranger-General skin in Heroes of the Storm. NB: This is NOT a pattern for the completed gauntlets, this is just the mitts they're attached to. Finished mitts measure approximately 11" in length and 4" across at the widest part, so they're small adult or kid-sized. Because I am a waif of a human. For larger mitts you can either use a larger hook size or add length or girth in the form of more rows or stit...

UPDATE 2/16/23: This is turning into a recipe blog post and you have to read an entire dissertation at the top before you get to what you want! I'm so sorry! Or am I...  I've added another smaller version of the knitting/duplicate stitch/tapestry crochet version of the chart that isn't reversed (I still don't know why I made a reversed version), and I've also added a new version of the chart with squares instead of rectangles, which will work for c2c and cross stitch, which I'll put up here at the top out of the kindness of my heart! I'm going to make the Alliance emblem, and if you're not already, follow me on Facebook to get updated when I do this. Also, shoutout to the Stitchboard Pattern Wizard . It's worth every penny of the premium membership. It isn't perfect and I always have to do edits to my charts, but it definitely provides a very nice starting point, saves a ton of time, and I strongly recommend it if you're looking to make yo...
