Crafting
My girls have decided they are going to be roller derby rivals for Samhain, and thus they need a few accesories. Instead of spending money on buying anything, I made the choice to use some yarn I had lying around to create wristers, elbow & knee pads! I didn't go looking for any type of pattern, instead I created one!
I know what elbow and knee pads are supposed to look like, and I made a simple piece that works. Originally, I was going to create each piece to be separate. But after seeing the wrister and elbow pad on together, I realized they almost touched and so the second one was created as a solid piece.
Last night I finished crafting the first knee pad, but since the child was in bed at the time, I don't have a picture of it yet.
Still have to create the pieces for the the other child, but now that I have the pattern bugs all worked out, I think they shall work up quite quicky! :)
I'm so proud of myself, being able to craft something like this from nothing!
I can't wait to see their outfits come together as a whole!
Below the cuts you'll be able to see the arm pieces when they were crafted separately and when they are crafted as one piece!
