Running a drawstring through the back stitches and pulling it taught is a simple but effective process. Unfortunately, not all things are remedied by wet blocking however I discovered a trick to flatten even the most unruly of edges. Luckily, I managed to mitigate most of it with multiple blocking sessions. The blocking for this design was finicky, the straight lines in the pattern make it so that any tension issues are immediately obvious. Either that or I need to figure out how to fix it in post.

I think what really needs work is my ability to take photos that don’t suffer from intense bloom. As a rule, I try to make as much progress in one work session as possible so that my tension is more or less consistent. I have found that between work sessions, that blocking your work can help with any tension issues that may crop up.

I have a funny feeling that I won’t have much to write about for this one so let’s just roll the pretty pictures, hm? The first issue I encountered was…well actually I didn’t encounter any issues really with this pattern. Yarn weighed and wound for the front panel of the wall hanging and we are ready to go! They had but one concern: eradication of all that had destroyed Lordaeron. Isillien and Abbendis wandered the area as the Scourge defiled the land, destroying what undead they could, gathering what warriors would join them. Some whisper it was the wounds both men received in battle, or perhaps just the shock of seeing their whole purpose destroyed, but since that day both Isillien and Abbendis had become quite insane. Priests and paladins fought as the Scourge attacked the city, but they fled as Lordaeron fell around them. There he worked closely with the elder High General Abbendis (the father of the younger Abbendis ) and his youthful charges, tutoring the young paladins in their quest for truth.

Isillien was formerly a priest of the Holy Light in Lordaeron, assigned to be the liaison for the Knights of the Silver Hand. The Scarlet Crusade flew many banners, but the one I settled on replicating was their version of the Symbol of the Holy Light.Īfter Lord Uther the Lightbringer was betrayed and killed by his former apprentice Arthas Menethil, the Knights of the Silver Hand were devastated by the Scourge‘s undead armies. Luckily, I had some colours leftover that just might work for a design I have been workshopping mentally since the relaunch of Classic World of Warcraft back in August 2019.Ĭhoosing which symbol best fit the conversion from JPEG to wall hanging proved to be more difficult than I originally assumed. Like most, my yarn stash is quickly dwindling as store closures make restocking more difficult than usual.
