Valentine's Present finished picture!

Finished crochet, with colours as picked by my Zelda obsessed boyfriend!

I am so happy, I finally finished my Zelda crochet! For me this was a bigger project than I though it was going to be, and the main reason for this was that every time I started a new section of the wing or the tri-force I had to cut another length of black wool and join it into the crochet. I ended up spending over 2 hours weaving in all of the ends fully! But it was really worth doing and I'm so pleased with it, I cannot tell the person who posted this pattern online how grateful I am to them as I would not have been able to work this out on my own, and it's really boosted my love of (and addiction to) crochet.

I'm planning to do another piece to make this into a pillow and I saw a really nice Zelda cross stitch someone had done, and so I've now got my plan into Excel. I will hopefully start it in a couple of days, and I hope it comes out ok.

Tunisian Zelda Cushion Project

I have recently bought myself some long crochet hooks to do my Tunisian crochet from Amazon.co.uk, and I am so excited! They are made from bamboo and 14" long, and I can now finally start a big project. I have found a lovely pattern for a Zelda crest cushion that I have decided to make for my boyfriend for Valentine's day:

It's so cool! I showed it to my boyfriend and let him pick out the colours he wanted, so mine is black on a green background. I took a quick picture of my first row, but I've been doing lots of work on it since then between my University lessons and I can't wait to put a picture up when I finally finish it!

First row of 61 stitches with new crochet needles

This is the plan I've been working from, I hope it'll look this good when it's done!
