My dad's a fantasy writer, a rpg gamer and an all around nerd. He is also unconditionally supportive of my hobbies and interests.
But this year is the first year I won't be home for Christmas, due to my boyfriend not being able to get the time off, due to the fact that it would cost over $1000 for a return trip to BC and I don't have the money. I didn't even have money to buy presents. So everyone got crochet stuffies.

But this year is the first year I won't be home for Christmas, due to my boyfriend not being able to get the time off, due to the fact that it would cost over $1000 for a return trip to BC and I don't have the money. I didn't even have money to buy presents. So everyone got crochet stuffies.
The pattern for this dragon is from here. The pattern is in spanish but there's a YouTube video with english subtitles. And if you're incredibly impatient like me, google translate works pretty well. The wings are modified from another dragon. It's made of random acrylic yarn that's been gifted to me over the years, dollar store buttons for eyes, and I bought the stuffing from Walmart. I used a 5mm hook.
It's a long standing family tradition that my dad get a dragon each Christmas or so. My grandma Diane started it before I was born and my mom, my sister and I kept it going after she died. So this is my contribution this year. It's the first dragon I've crocheted and it ended up a lot bigger then I thought it would be. I also forgot how much I dislike having to make multiple arms and legs then sew them all together.
It's so adorable though. I'll be making more of them once I've recovered from this one. :P
