I loved making this dragon scarf.
I found the pattern in a book from my local library
called Crochet Ever After
by Brenda K. B. Anderson
It introduced me to some new techniques.
The construction of the head,
particularly the nostrils
was something totally new to me.
I also loved how the scales were formed
over 4 repeating rows involving
2 different colours.
It's nice to learn some new techniques.
This dragon will go in a tickle trunk.
Canadians will probably know what that is
but for those who don't
the term comes from a
TV show called Mr. Dressup
(played by the talented and gentle Ernie Coombs).
The famous trunk on the show contained
an unlimited number of costumes which,
when worn by the host,
carried everyone into his imaginative adventure.
So I hope that the little girl
that just entered my life
will find joy playing with this dragon.
