Notes & Photos:
January 16: Both Quidditch Match #1 and Global Wizardry run Jan 18-30th, but I did GW during Summer Camp so can only get Points toward Quidditch. No matter! I found a wonderful project full of angles in this dice bag 🎉 I think it'll be a fun challenge to myself. Now what yarn am I going to use...
January 23: I have bought the yarn! I found bright purple yarn with silver shot through it 😊 Perfect for a dragon's egg, I think. Time to start!
later (9:38pm NST): Look at the two adorable little scales I've made on the bag so far:
I sized my bag/egg up slightly by adding a third ring to the base to give me 36 dc instead of 24; that means an extra 3 scales per rnd. I like it. And I even remembered what a front post dc is... after watching a video and going 'Oh! I've done that!' lol
January 29 (10:24am NST): And done! 😊 It's so cute! The yarn was a bit of a pain; the hook kept splitting into it and the metallic strand kept wanting to catch on other things. But it looks awesome and I now have a sparkly dragon egg. Some other photos:
