WIP Wednesday - Beam Guardian Scarf and Hogwarts Afghan

By -
UPDATE 1/23/23: Should I start doing WIP Wednesdays blog posts every week? I would generate more words for the search robots. I really hate this part of marketing. I want to focus on my Ko-Fi page but I'm having trouble getting people to that page and this blog has been around for years and is established. Hmmm...a conundrum.
 
This posts also reminds me that I never did make the Beam Guardian animal charts available. I might, in fact, put them on my Ko-Fi.
 
I love the Moroccan tile/nested V stitch. Still. To this day, and as of right now I have some market bags in my Etsy shop that feature this good ol' stitch. 
 
I won't be waxing poetic on JRK, Hogwarts, etc.

Dark Tower Beam Guardian Scarf - Turtle and Bear

I haven't worked on this as much as I meant to after the disaster that lead to me pulling the whole thing apart last week. It looks a lot better this time and I'm approaching the top of Maturin. The scarf is double-sided so Maturin is also on the opposite side, but he is a mirror image. I plan to put tassels at either end and a nice, fat cable up the middle of the scarf over to Shardik's side. This is going to be a pretty wide scarf and I'm shooting for 3' long...maybe a little more?

Hogwarts Moroccan Tile Afghan

 This is slow coming. I'm actually out of a few of the colors I need. I haven't actually finished a single quadrant, but I did do several rows of Ravenclaw recently. I believe I've done all I can of the other three houses due to running out of colors. Each quadrant is going to be a roughly 16" square. I'm going to attach them and I'm not sure about the border or if there will even be one.

I'm also working on a Twin Peaks-inspired knit hat and a billion other things. Among these billion other things are making my charts look nice so I can post them on here fo' free for people to use. Also the pattern for my Dalek beanies.

FREE Crochet Pattern - The Fox Plush from The Little Prince

UPDATE 2/8/23: Formatting got weird when I change my blog theme and I have now fixed it!     UPDATED: 10/3/22, for clarity!   You can now get a printable PDF version of this as a PAY WHAT YOU WANT pattern on my Ko-Fi here .     The finished Fox is about 23" from nose to tail. My gauge was approx. 4 sts/inch and 4 rows/inch and I chose to stuff the body and tail rather loosely, legs a bit more firm, but it's up to you. I like a floppy Fox. In The Little Prince (the Netflix movie version), Plushy Fox has orange ears with white inside and the black just around the edge. I chose to make my original Foxes (pictured to the right) with just black ears for silly aesthetic reasons, but you can easily sub in your orange for the backs of your Fox's ears. The new Fox I made had movie-accurate ears (below).   If you're not a crafty-type person, you stumbled across this pattern, and you want a Fox, don't hesitate to message me via Facebook . I'm pretty friendly and

  UPDATE 9/21/23: Bethesda rolled out an inferior Wilby pattern the other day, if you didn't know. If you'd like to compare it to my version, which is larger (I was shooting for accurate game size) then you can get that pattern here . I have been playing a great deal of Starfield. I am constantly encumbered by toys and potted plants. It's fine. Give me some pew-pew weapons, a spaceship, and let me collect cute plushies and plants for hours on end, which I'm piling in the middle of The Frontier because my cargo hold and captain's storage are full. Everything is full. Piles are the answer. Also, organs. Oh, my God. My dilemma with how to offload organs. Not the instrument, my dudes, I'm talking internal ones, which I steal. Anywho! Free pattern! Because I am nice and also Bethesda loves the copyright police when fans of their games want to make a few dollarbucks. It is what it is. Just like my in-game hoarding. You can though get a pay-what-you-want PDF version fr

This is mostly a joke pattern…or is it??? I whipped it up pretty quick because I thought it was funny, so if you want to expand upon or improve the pattern then by all means do so! Then share it with me because it will make me lol. You can tag my Facebook page or Instagram @michiarr ! I love seeing stuff people make with my dumb patterns! IMPORTANT: This cup will not keep your drinks hot nor cold. In fact, I strongly suggest that you do not put any liquids in this tumbler. The straw doesn’t work, and the lid doesn’t even come off. I mean, you could make the lid so it does come off if you want to, but still don’t put any liquids in this, please. Materials and Supplies ·          Worsted weight yarn in desired cup color, plus some gray, and some white      o    YARDAGE: less than 300 yards of each, way less than 300 of the gray and white ·          Stuffing material ·          Size G crochet hook ·          Yarn needle ·          Pins (optional, but recommended for po
