Good morning!
Apologies that I didn't get around to posting my next pattern sooner.
Things have been a tad hectic over the last month because I've just gone full time at work (huzzah)! Only downside is that I'm knackered all the time (boo) and I'm not always in the mood for crafting :(
Anyway, I'm on annual leave now for two weeks (double huzzah), as I'm going away for five nights on Wednesday. Those who know me over on Facebook will know why and the rest of you... well, I should be able to fill you in tomorrow :) x
For now, here's that new pattern I promised:
The Wind Fish from Link's Awakening should need no introductions!
The pattern is a bit of a beast as it spans two pages -- it took me AGES to chart, but should be meaty enough for those of you who like a stitchy challenge! I have plans for a blackwork version too, but that might be a way off yet!
So if you fancy a challenge, I've uploaded the pattern to the "Legend of Zelda" folder on BOX.net
Enjoy!
Till next time ... keep Kalm and cross-stitch! :) xxx
Hello there!
Firstly, I know this is late, but belated "Easter Greets" to one and all. For those of us who celebrate, I hope you all had a great weekend. Mine was great, but tiring, and unusually for the UK, we had warm, sunny weather for a Bank Holiday weekend!!
Here's a fun little project I made for the holidays:
The pattern for these cute little critters was in UK crochet magazine "Simply Crochet", issue 29. They should have had little moustaches, but I decided they looked cute enough without them :)
And now for a new pattern ...
Last year, before I had my wrist surgery, you may (or may not), recall that I was working on a blackwork version of my Wind Fish Tile pattern. Well I finally finished it a few weeks ago:
This pattern has had more than it's fair share of "tweaks" as I've been working it, but I think I am reasonably happy with it.
I've uploaded the pattern for this to the "blackwork" folder on BOX.net if you fancy having a go!
Well that's all for now!
Till next time...keep Kalm and cross-stitch :) xxx
Hi guys, hope you are all well!
Can't believe it's been over two months since I last posted on here. I know that other blogs I follow have been dormant for over a year, but that's no excuse for me to do the same, and I like to keep you in the loop as to what new projects I'm working on!
I've been having some health issues over the last six months, which I hope to say more about shortly, but for now, it's time for some of those new patterns I've been promising.
Staying with the Wind Fish theme from my last posts, we have this:
Those who have actually completed Links Awaking and got into the Wind Fish's Egg, will recognise this floor tile from the room where the final battle takes place.
I think this one will be a bit of a crazy stitch for anyone who wants to give it a go!
If you do, I have uploaded the pattern to the Legend of Zelda folder on BOX.net.
As always, I am not satisfied with just as cross-stitch version ... I have been working on a blackwork version too! Here is my work in progress:
I wasn't sure how this one would turn out, but it's going okay so far. Hopefully, I shall have this one finished soon :)
So that's all for now.
Till next time ... keep Kalm and cross-stitch! xx
Greetings Guys!!!
Well it seems like it's been a very long time since I actually posted proper patterns! I've been in a bit of a slump with regards to charting new patterns for a while and, as always, life gets in the way.
Anyway, over the last month or so, I seem to have found my feet again. After trawling through all my reference images deciding what I could chart next, I came across some Zelda stuff that I hadn't even looked at when I had my Zelda Pattern Month back in June 2011!
As the title of this post suggests, the topic for today is the Wind Fish from Link's Awakening. After Link to the Past, this is my favourite Zelda game :)
There are two offerings here:
 |
| Mini Wind Fish |
 |
| Wind Fish Silhouette |
Here are my stitchy versions:
These two patterns are really quick to work and should take no more than a couple of evenings (depending on how fast you stitch). I would have preferred a darker blue for the silhouette version, but I didn't have any, so I used some marble-blue aida which actually gives a nice "sky" effect.
The patterns have been uploaded to BOX.net in the "Legend of Zelda" folder.
As always, if you stitch my work, please let me see so I cane give you a heads up :) xx
So that's all for today. I have some more Zelda patterns waiting to be shared, so hopefully I will post them soon.
Till next time ... keep Kalm and Cross-stitch! xx
