Those slippers sound like they should be super-cosy :D :D

I've never tried knitting a blanket in one piece before - maybe the weight of the blanket pulled down on the strands as you were knitting it, and meant that your tension was affected, so the stitches weren't quite as even in places? Doing double strands on larger needles would be a load faster than dk yarn on 4mm needles or a 4mm hook like I tried though!

I will see if I can post a picture of them later today. :) Once I finished cleaning my flat and whatnnot. :K

That is a good point, somehow I didnt think about that myself. :P I am gonna try to avoid shortcuts like these from now tho, learning that it doesnt always make for the prettiest projects. :P

Aww at the cleaning - you'd think Pusur and Salem would have learnt how to chase the dustbunnies by now! :P

Maybe you could do blanket squares (even 30cm squares as then you'd not need many to make the blanket), but still use two strands, so it's slightly thicker than a single strand blanket, but knits up fast without the weight pulling against it?

You could always do irregular squares / random sizes, and just crochet a border between them & around the outside, so they line up reasonably evenly at the end?

I had a feeling it was Drow-Raven today :D She looks stunning in that outfit, especially with the band on the hat matching the corset :D

laughs there's definitely a minotaur feel about that mask, even though it's meant to be a lion mask.... I wanted one that'd go with the dress colour, and it kind of jumped off the screen at me when I was looking :P

Of course. I am kinda corcerned for the other people attending the dance tho. .P I hope they brought security guards and armour.

That would actually a neat look, you can mix and match colours and patterns. :)

Sorry, I seem to see problems everywhere today. :blushes:

I did think at one point about making some sampler squares, so using one fancy crochet or knitting stitch for a square, then making it up into a blanket eventually.... never got as far as starting it, but I had the idea sitting there laughs

I've got your package ready to send tomorrow, so that'll go airmail (only 5p more than surface mail o.O), and it should be with you quite a while before your birthday laughs

they look fantastic :D I see what you mean about the gap at the back of the dress - that just looks weird without the coat back o.O nods I think she's definitely got more style there than werewolf-Paddy has ;)

It still doesn't look particularly lion-like though :P

When I asked for the dress, the first thing I knew I'd be doing was using that coat back lmao.

nods I think unless you had a skirt under it, that gap would look a little weird ;)

And that's true - it's definitely got an oriental look about it (which would explain why it doesn't look much like a lion to me :P)

that's something I've never read up on at all.... which is a bit odd really, considering I like dragons ;)

I'd better be disappearing - I'll be back in the morning, with a plan for Lorna to get a huge pile of stat boosters (she wants to match Wravens' stats as closely as possible!) 😇

She just kills most of the people she meets? Surely that makes it all okay, eh?

I quite like it! I found something I would love to make: Subeta Pets">linkie

Thanke! :D Very curious to see what inside it. :D I shall try not to open it before I get home tho.. more to look forward to. :D

How are you doing as far as getting what you want from the steamworks shops? :) I am still playing catch-up trying to get stuff from the previous years. lol

that link didn't work :(

laughs it's all wrapped inside the packaging, so you can take it out of the envelope before your birthday if you want ;)

I've finally got everything apart form the Yunium Key that I'm after from the this year's steamworks shop.... although I think I'm probably still missing items from previous years still laughs
