Notice

Due to a sudden spam surge, I've turned anonymous commenting off on DW for the time being. You should still be able to comment with OpenID. I'll probably turn anon commenting back on in a few weeks; until then, that's what's going on.

In other news...

I finally finished transcribing the pattern for the European-style dragon, woo-hoo! (You may recall this dragon from here, here, or here.) Since I actually want to make money off of this pattern, I was hoping to get a few beta testers to run through it and tell me where I need to change anything.

Material Requirements:
Crochet hook for gauge of 4 double crochet per inch/2.5 cm (I used 5.0 mm/size H)
~350 yards worsted weight yarn
Scissors
Tapestry/yarn needle
Stuffing
Stitch markers (a scrap of contrasting yarn works fine)
One pair 15mm plastic eyes (optional)
Optional (for wings):
~3 feet/1 meter wire
Wire cutters
Needle-nose pliers

Knowledge Requirements:
Crocheting in the round [spiral]
Single crochet (sc)
Double crochet (dc)
Triple crochet (tc)
Slip stitch (sl st)
Front loop crochet (fl [stitch])
Increasing ([stitch] 2 in 1)
Decreasing [double crochet] ([stitch] 2 tog)
US stitch names

This is an INTERMEDIATE to ADVANCED pattern and, like many of my more recent patterns at hooked_on_anime, is mostly double-crochet. If you're still interested - which, gosh, I hope at least one or two of you are! - reply* here [on Dreamwidth] and we can work out the details of me getting the pattern to you. In the unlikely event that a lot of you are still interested, I guess I'm drawing the line at the first five to reply? I think that's reasonable. If you reply after that, you can be first in line to test the griffin or Asian-style dragon patterns when I get them done or something.

Thanks! ♥

* Sorry to put this right on the tail of turning anon commenting off, Anonymice; OpenID is still okay to use, though, and account creation is still open on Dreamwidth, I'm pretty sure, so you should still have a few options.
