I have been gifted various skeins of old yarn (yay!), so there will be several small creatures available shortly! They will also be limited in number, since the yarn colors and textures may no longer be readily available...

I'm trying to get a complete one finished; the red one turns out not to have enough of the "sunshine" print, stupid limited dye lots...now I have to finish 3 more fans, each of which takes about 6 hours (knitting is waaay too slow but the most efficient with materials), and then make a new shirt and skirt.
Then ideally I'd make a male counterpart and have a nice complimentary... The first attempt at my dancing costume was quite a success! The skirt looks kinda weird due to stitching, but it's my first cross of knitting and crochet. I will post a picture when I find a suitable stage/studio.
The fan portion worked much like I had originally planned; I thought I would need to add weights to make it swing, but that actually hindered the effect. It works much better without beads on a string. All I need to do now is look up fan-dancing... And darn! I don't see any fans like mine, which have no structure and work by centrifugal force. If anyone can show me where to find one so I don't have to learn to dance with them all by myself, I would really appreciate it! |
