My piranha design now faces both left and right. I have great plans for these lovelies. Stay tuned!

Just assembled the last Eastern Dragon in my WIPs pile, which always seems to be growing ever larger). This girl seems have both a distinctly feminine feel with a touch of fiery strength. She will be my last dragon scarf (Eastern or Western) for a bit. I am pursuing a spring and summer filled with aquatic horror creations and it’s never too early to lean into spooky season!

Bloody neck ruff on the blocking mats! Once set free this beautiful example of crocheted shredded skin shall be adorned with menacing creatures who love to dine on a bit of fiberlicious human sheath. Happy

Another baby gator assembled! I modified my gator scarf pattern to make single gators that you can drape over your shoulder if you so choose. I make baby gators from that modified pattern by working them up in size 40 thread from … if you scroll through the pics you will see a bloody shredded skin choker with one of these mini gators as ornamentation. Sinister ornamentation is my jam so I am pretty satisfied with the results!

Just off the blocking boards…a new piranha colorway (a little bit inspired by spooky season) and a new design…a rather fancy little sardine! Both are worked up with Dream in Color’s Smooshy Cashmere and some Koigu KPPPM stash yarn. I do have big plans for these rather elevated fishies. Hence the yarn choice. What’s on your blocking board? Do tell!

A few years ago I designed a piranha motif pattern. Needless to say I made a small school of them and piled them in a box because I became a bit of a nomad for a while. Fast forward to a few weeks ago when I received a box filled with from Dream in Color Yarn (see last few pics of the latest edition to the piranha gang). The yarn scream, “I MUST BECOME A FISH WITH TEETH.” I hear that soft and beautiful yarn. The cashmere fishy is a few inches larger than the size 10 thread versions and it is soft as…well…cashmere. Me thinks I will figure out how to work the cashmere versions into a scarf or shawl (along with a few gnawed on body parts in the cashmere). I may have lost my mind completely. I’ll give you that, but hey it keeps me occupied and gives my worries a respite as the trash fire we live in spreads.

Finished assembling another scarf. What can I say about this stash buster? The face went through 4 design iterations before settling on this version. I rather like it. No complaints. I didn’t buy any yarn to make this. Shopped my own stash. Yay me! Why am I making animal scarves at this point in my horror filled yarn curriculum? Well, I figured these would be fun gifts for birthdays and holidays. I really did endeavor to make this easy on myself and source patterns by other designers. I saw some really fun ones out there, but per the usge, they just didn’t quite fit the aesthetic I was looking for. So, here we are!

Just finished working up a new design…The Fox Spirit Scarf! This one happens to be scrap driven. My initial design was much simpler (I had enough yarn in a certain colorway to create the original design). This one is a scraptastic example of using different stash yarns (not enough of one colorway to get the job done) which forced me to solution through my bits and bobs color conundrum. I really love the results. Working through these creative challenges is helping me keep my sanity in times that feel overwhelming and incredibly sad. Needless to say, I have my version of the red protest hat coming…a very strong and fire filled red dragon.

Morphed my western winged dragon scarf into an example of the eastern variety. I have to say that this beauty really makes me happy. I alternated between solid color “Paprika” and a striped color “Spice Cabinet”. Yarn is Knit Picks Brava worsted, a work horse yarn for me. Anyway, this sweet dragon feels rather magical to me. The perfect accessory to sport during Chinese New Year!
