UPDATE 2/7/23: Duplicate stitch! Yes!   This week I was asked to make a hat with The Monarch symbol it. "Ok," I said. And I did. It was excellent for breaking up the monotony of making bigfoot hat after bigfoot hat, that's for sure. And here's the chart! Feel free to use it for knitting, crochet, needlepoint, or whatever fibercraft floats your boat. If you do use it, please link back to this post to share it with the rest of the Internet! For more, give my Facebook page a like and also swing by my Etsy shop . For the hat, I actually duplicate stitched the pattern onto a plain black knit hat I made. I love any excuse to duplicate stitch and this was a perfect opportunity to do so. Duplicate stitch is my current favorite thing. There are tons of tutorials online. Here 's a good one. Happy crafting and holidays and holiday crafting! XOXOX

UPDATE 2/18/23: Cleaned up the all-seeing-eye for the Seekers!  If you're looking for more Dragon Age heraldry, you can also get the Qunari, Templars, and Tevinter emblems here . UPDATE 2/11/23: Gonna touch up that Seekers of Truth symbol and make some smaller versions of these if I can! Keep an eye on my Facebook page for when I do this. I have a hefty to-do list! Check out last week's post for the Antivan Crows, Circle of Magi, Dalish and Inquisition heraldry colorwork charts! [ Here ] This week, I give to you Kirkwall, the Legion of the Dead and the Seekers of Truth. The Seeker chart is a little discombobulated with colors. Use your brain. The sigil is solid white, the background is two-toned with a split down the middle (or solid - it looks rad in solid black or black and gray with white...embrace your aesthetic)! I've made all of these using sc tapestry crochet, but they should be fine for other yarn and needlework. Right click > Open in new window > Save so...

UPDATE 2/18/23: I cleaned up the Circle of Magi emblem. I also have more free Dragon Age charts that you can find below.   Kirkwall, Legion of the Dead, and Seekers of Truth Heraldry grids Templars, Qunari, and Tevinter Heraldry grids   UPDATE 2/8/23: This post had some bizarre formatting after my blog theme change! I don't understand why the weirdness only happened to some posts. Like, what in the world did I do different in the original post?? My mind! It's blown! These charts are otherwise all good, I suppose! Who is jazzed for Dreadwolf? I am. It'll probably have some more stuff in it for me to make charts of too! lol but until then, check my Etsy for my currently available goodies!   Oops, I've been hoarding colorwork charts. I made these forever ago for some  crochet patches  and then totally forgot about them. Dragon Age is pretty much my favorite franchise of anything ever and I have a ton of these heraldry charts because I got really over-excited ab...

UPDATE 2/7/23: Made some changes/corrections to reflect the present day.  Everyone's favorite most hated robot on Pandora (and Elpis) is now available in an adorable 13" crochet version...made by me, not by Hyperion! And made of yarn! For cuddles?! He's supposed to be a general purpose robot, but we all know he's a useless piece of garbage! A crochet Claptrap is just as useless, but at least he doesn't talk, so that's an improvement. Made-to-Order Crochet Claptrap $90 + shipping 1-2 week production time, but I will try DAMN HARD to do it in under a week, especially with the holiday season upon us...I will also do colors other than yellow! If you'd like me to make you a Claptrap, contact me about a custom order! My commission status is in the announcement at the top of my Etsy page ! Claptrap Crochet Pattern Includes charts and other junk in an attempt to help you understand my brainprocess. I do intend to have some ready-to-ship Claptraps (ava...

UPDATE 2/7/23: Formatting fixes.  NB: Crocheted dog toys are only really good for dogs that ARE NOT heavy chewers, toy-eaters or otherwise destroyers of their toys. Crochet dog toys are only good for those dogs that like to carry, snuggle or occasionally give their toys a good shake. If a crochet dog toy becomes damaged,  like any other damaged toy, you should take it away from your dog promptly. Know your dog and if this toy is appropriate for him or her. Dogs are dumb - they will eat things and get intestinal blockages and plunge you into debt with vet bills, but for some reason we still like them. :) Anywho... This is a great use of scrap yarn because dogs don't care if you give them a toy that is totally hideous. I've made two of these, both from scrap yarn, but I forgot to take pictures of the first one and I no longer have it.  It is also important to note that as you are working on this it will look a bit vulgar and, um, phallic.  Materials   ...

  UPDATE 2/7/23: The small version of this chart, is, indeed, not very small. I'm adding it to the maybe to-do list to jam out a small version that is more versatile for smaller projects! Mockingjay: Part 2  releases today in the USofA so I whipped up mockingjay pin charts! I've been meaning to do these since Mockingjay: Part 1 . Clearly, I failed to get around to them. Better late than never, huh? The charts are in small (40), medium (80) and large (150). I haven't tested any of them, so tweaks might be necessary. I recommend right-clicking on the charts and opening them in a new tab to access the full-sized versions. And you can save them to your computer from there too. Each of these charts is suitable for your preferred fiberart colorwork method (tapestry crochet, stranded knitting, duplicate stitch, whatever, whatever!) and your favorite needlecrafts as well. Utilize these charts for any project you like, but please provide a link back to this post. :) Find me el...

UPDATE 2/7/23: Ah! Here is where I learned duplicate stitch! My favorite! It opened up so many magical doors and windows and maybe a cellar! Having finished up the first round of Splatoon Bobble Hats , I decided to take a break to knock out some personal projects. I'd been meaning to try out the FREE Jackyll & Hyde Balaclava pattern from the Fall 2007 issue of  Knitty . My original intentions were to take the plain pattern and then make it into a Deadpool ski mask. I didn't have enough of the same red lying around, so I made it in hot pink because I had an awful lot of hot pink for no good reason. As a connoisseur of bad movies, I watched Spring Breakers several times. If you also unfortunately saw that movie, you will recall the prevalence of hot pink ski masks. I didn't want to make a Spring Breakers ' ski mask, so I needed to make mine much more classy. And how do you make something instantly look classy? Add a mustache. I duplicate stitched this must...
