DragonCon 2015: Photo Recap

By Michelle -

UPDATE 2/6/23: Fixed weird formatting on this post from my theme change. Making this weird comment at the top so I know I have been here. Great Blog Fixing of 2023.

I didn't take nearly as many pictures as I have in years past and some of these were taken by my pseudo-handler and water-carrier, cats_and_critical_hits. If you stumble on this page and see yourself, please send me a message so I can give you the wonderful credit you deserve for being awesome. I'll also include links to your page(s) or whatever if you want, just let me know! XOXOX

If you have burning questions about my crochet Sailor Saturn cosplay, check out the FAQ post.

Thursday!
Thursday night was pretty hoppin' so I put on Nisha to roam around and pick up my earrings from Eric (Southpaw Engraving, Jarman Props). Ran into a doge cosplay and died then we screwed around with Eric's kantus head. I forgot the earrings I was going to wear with Nisha so I decided to just use my Saturn earrings because they're so rad.


Friday!
I did Nisha during the day as planned on Friday. Nisha ran into Antman. I made stupid faces and then we swapped headgear. Antman by Jareth Valentine (Ravengel Ringworks).


I also took a selfie with Felicia Day. She's cool. Meanwhile, I look ridiculous as per usual.


I got purple contacts for Saturn from CamoEyes and took a picture of myself in which I appear to have a lazy eye. I don't actually have a lazy eye...I don't think. Do I? Oh, noes. I was also giving out crochet Sailor Moon tiaras, which you can see on my own head and the head of my water-carrier in this other picture.


Sailor Saturn ran into everyone's favorite Inquisition diplomat, Josephine.

Saturday!
If you keep up with my incessant ramblings, you know I'm obsessed with Dragon Age. I was saddened by the lack of DA cosplays I'd run into (AKA the single Josephine), but then I met Cullen and Cassandra on the Marriott elevator on the way to the Borderlands photoshoot, which I have zero pictures from.


Then I went to the DA Developers Q&A panel, where there were DA cosplayers en masse, but I failed to take any pictures because I was so excited about everything else. I then attempted to make it to do a podcast with a dude (Rocket Props) from the BL photoshoot, but it took me 35 minutes to get from the Hilton to the Hyatt omg.

I couldn't conceivably make it to the Sailor Moon photoshoot, which was a bummer, but then I changed into Saturn and went to the aquarium to look at fishes. I entered the costume contest on a whim and did not succeed at it, but I looked at fishes. At some point I also totally blasted my ankle, but I won't bore you with a detailed tale of my pain.

Sunday!
I found this adorable Morrigan on Sunday (who I'd also run into in line for the DA Developers Q&A panel). I also stumbled upon a Doctor and Martha. I'd never seen a Martha before, so I got excited and by stumbled upon, I mean I was sitting and they were walking by.


Yay, DragonCon! I'm already excited for next year. Maybe I'll bring a fancy camera and spend some time taking good pictures of the numerous awesome humans I encounter.

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

My Friend Wilby FREE Crochet Pattern from Starfield!

  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

Schmanley Cup FREE Crochet Pattern To Make A Very Obvious Knock-Off Non-Functional Stanley Cup

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
