This is as far as I managed to get yesterday - twenty-one rows in, so about half way. It's actually a lot harder on the hands than I initially thought it would be, so I was working on it off and on yesterday.
However, this is what I spent a majority of my time doing, in between crocheting and packing.
Pretty cool, eh? You'll have to excuse the lack of proper colour, my camera decided today that it didn't want to work properly. The green is actually this colour.
Also, the proportions are slightly off, but I didn't have any pattern to follow, this is done completely from the top of my head. But, oh well, trial and error, if I ever do this again, I'll know what to do instead, hopefully.
And now, for anybody interested, here are the pictures I took of the progress. You'll have to excuse the quality of the pictures.
I decided to try and make the seem as invisible as I could, I think it turned out alright.
Just a simple bottom, nothing fancy.
The bottom one I made first, only to discover that it was too small. The second one was a bit too big, but it worked out just fine. They also remind me of Xena's weapon, the Chakram. I love Xena. <3 She was my idol growing up.
I just really like how it looks like a tap hat here. I was calling it the Mad Hatter's hat. Which I might do one day, now that I think about it.
I decided to add this as a bit of support in the inside - and realised that I should have just made one piece like that, instead of two separate ones. Oh well, next time.
This was my last long piece of canvas, I didn't think it would fit, but I so lucked out!
Because this was the last stretch of the project, it felt like it took forever to complete! But, I did.
The finished product!!
I think that is all I really have to blog about right now. I'm probably just going to update my DeviantArt and spend the rest of the day crocheting and packing.
Hopefully I'll finish my potholder for tomorrow!
