Legend of Zelda Scarf

I knit this on size 8 wooden circulars, CO between 60-70 stitches, not 100% sure how many, but Link is almost 30 stitches, so at minimum it's 60. I knit the scarf to about 70", and then duplicate stitched the images on. As seen from the previous post, I very heavily modified a couple charts, and I made up the Navi chart. The triforce is everywhere, so I don't feel I owe any one person credit. This was incredibly fun, and I think it turned out really good. My only real complaint is my own guage issue; otherwise, I love it and plan on wearing it all winter!

ETA January 2014: Here are several more iterations I've done of this scarf - I've improved upon the images and each is unique:

And finally, a custom LoZ from a geekster who purchased the original last year!:

Zelda and Link chart

Okay, so for a game that has been around FOREVER there are hardly any charts out there for Zelda-related things. As with other projects I have no charts for, I turned to cross-stitch images to glean my own version of the pattern. Here is my heavily edited version of Link and Zelda and a heart piece:

Note: Colors aren't exact, of course.

Nerdiness ahoy!

Okay, I FINALLY am able to post these pics. I made this Moogle wall hanging for Steve for his birthday, because he loved the scarf but didn't end up wearing it much this winter and therefore didn't get to show it off much. The scarf is currently acting as a decoration so we can still admire the characters. I wanted to take it a step further and simply make a knitted "poster." Here are the results:

As with the wall hanging I decided to just knit the giant square and duplicate stitch the image on. It was very time-consuming doing this, but also very rewarding. However, I didn't think ahead about the fact that I was using large needles and knitting the background loosely, so duplicate stitching wouldn't turn out as crisp and tight as I would have liked. All in all though, it came out quite nicely. I made the pattern from looking at an image of another project as there doesn't seem to be any patterns out there!

I knit it back and forth on size 9 wooden circulars so my wrists wouldn't hurt as much as the square became heavier, and i just used a needle to duplicate stitch the image.
