So a Pirate and a Wizard Get in a Fight...

Stormwind Map last time:

Stormwind Map now:

The darker blue-ish parallelogram is a roof. I do not know what building it is meant to represent since it's post-Cata. In my mind it's a boat house since it's right on the harbor. I highly doubt it is, but doubt has not stopped me from pretending things before. Hardly seems to make sense to let it now.

Scarves love posing on patio swings. Well known fact.

I know it looks like those are holes in the middle bit there but really that's where my joins are. That will disappear once the ends are woven in.

I've also started a dishcloth.

Dishcloth or doll-sized afghan? You decide.

And... Harry lost his wand and had to borrow Obi-Wan's lightsaber. No, I don't know why. But it all makes for a more dynamic progress picture, no?

The pattern is from Bernat Kitchen Kolors Dishcloths booklet. I got it mainly because I wanted the crochet patterns, so of course I started with a knitted one. Of course. :p

In other news, the mockup for Forsaken was added to the HAED site! I was very happy about that. Check it out:

I'm super picky about how faithful the finished product is going to be compared to the original. This is still gorgeous and maybe if I'd never seen the original artwork it wouldn't bother me, but there is just so much black! It's mixed in with the greens and robbing them of vibrancy and the hair is almost entirely and there's so much in the cloak. In addition, I don't care for the way the greens blend off in the background. The lines are too distinct. So I've decided to stop working on it.

This is all the farther I ever got on it:

I had opted not to do the black border (or would have added it at the end) and I had started in the lower left hand corner.

I guess it's not a huge loss. I felt like I was a lot farther along that I was, I guess. But it still sucks. I have learned that I simply cannot buy a chart without there being a mockup. Nope. Not even gonna take the chance.

I haven't decided if I'm going to try to repurpose this fabric or just tuck it away in case I look at it again years down the road and change my mind.
