Early posts in this blog talked about me making something for a friend. Which was a World of Warcraft Horde Tapestry for her gamer den. Well I finally finished it. And since it wasn't a commission it got done in a slower time frame, under the understanding that it wasn't a rush job. I had inspection and a ton of other things pop up, stuff like paperwork and household stuff. So I think I started planning this one like 3 months ago with tweaking it and what not. A month after that we bought supplies and then a few days ago I finished.
For those that read those earlier posts, I learned some hard lessons but fortunately got lucky. I don't intend to do crochet as a side hustle or whatever. It stays a hobby. Anyways, if you ever decide to do crochet as a business be aware that customers will give you a vision and then you might buy supplies and then they'll change their mind on their vision! Which can be really really bad concerning dye lot issues and potential yarn shortages. So if you ever do there's a ton of factors to consider.
Since this wasn't a commission, obviously I didn't charge for it or my time. I don't think I'm going to be making things for anyone else any time soon, unless it's my kid of for my family. It's too exhausting and I'd rather work on my own stuff. That said here are some photo's below with my particular notes if anyone decides they want one as well. A link to the chart I made in Stitch Fiddle is also provided below. No instructions are provided beyond what is given here.
