I Finished!!

I decided not to do the complete unicorn. It was just too much for me at this time. If someone is willing to pay for it, I’ll complete it. Otherwise, I’ll be selling it as is.

The only thing keeping it from being a fully finished project is it needs to be blocked. I took a picture of it as it is now, unblocked and maybe, next week, I’ll share a picture of it blocked. 🙂

Here is what it looks like:

This was made using Aunt Lydia’s Crochet Thread Fine #20 and a steel hook size 1.90mm. It took up an entire ball – 400 yards(365.76meters)- of thread. I also forgot to measure it, but I’m sure it’s at least 3 feet tall and as much wide.

I had to put it on a futon because the space on my bed wasn’t big enough. The futon is open so it all is flat. The horn is on the what would be the back of the futon if it were in couch position, and the bottom is on the outer edge of the seat portion of the futon if it were in couch position. Have I confused you yet? 😀

I’m very happy with how it’s turned out, but I’ve turn my attention now on another big project. It’ s big in that there are many parts of it. I’ve already begun it, but I won’t show any pictures until next week. You’ll just have to wait!

See you all on the flipside and don’t forget your towel and sonic screwdriver!!

I got a bit more done on this awesome project, and I’m starting to think I won’t do the entire thing because just what I have is so big! At it’s tallest, it’s 17 inches(43.18cm), and at it’s widest it’s 24 inches(60.96cm). That’s a pretty decent size, don’t you think.

Here is where I was last week:

The mane is on the right side and the face is on the left just in case you can’t figure it out. 🙂 The chin area is not done. The blocks on the edges show the completed sides. Does that make sense?

Here is where I am this week. It doesn’t look like much, but it’s at least 10 more rows than before.

I still need to do the top of the head, the chin and the rest of the horn to have the head portion done.

Here is what it’s supposed to look like when it’s done:

I don’t have a better picture I’m afraid, but I think you can still tell, pretty much, what the head is supposed to look like. It’s getting there. 🙂

See you on the flipside and don’t forget your towel and sonic screwdriver!!!

Here’s another update on the filet crochet project I’m working on. I did forget to measure it so, forgive me for that. I’ll have measurements on my next update.

Here is what it’s supposed to look like:

This photo is courtesy of Annie’s Attic where the booklet with this pattern in it is available.

Here is what it looked like last time you saw it:

Not really much to see. The bottom is 24 inches wide as you see, for now. The orientation on this piece is going to change slightly when I get back to that section. It’s not actually the bottom of the piece but an upper portion.

Here is where I am now so you can see what I mean:

It was hard to tell, before, which side was which, but it’s now clear. I’m actually working towards the head of the unicorn. The upper left is its jaw.

The tail you see on the bottom is a marker indicating where I’ll attach on to begin the rest of the unicorn’s body and legs. The upper legs will be done in smaller sections, and you can already see where they’re going to go.

This piece is not as big as the first one of these I made(this is only the second time I’ve made this), but it’s still going to be a good size. I think I should have gone with a much smaller hook. If I ever make another one of these, I’ll be going smaller with the hook. I’m using size 20 mercerized cotton thread which is small enough to me.

See you on the flipside and don’t forget your towel and sonic screwdriver!!
