@nygren @Ksushis

Super! Will she be making the designs available?

What material are the claws made of?

I crocheted a baby dragon last year. That was a lot of work, but it was my first project.

@nygren @Ksushis This is absolutely brilliant!

Quick question: what are the talons made of? They are stealing the show!

@number6 @nygren The pattern is from amazing Megan Lapp of Crafty intentions. The body of the dragon (plus legs, wings, tail and head) are from this pattern https://shop.craftyintentions.com/b/KMHfv and the head and back ornamentation is from Megan's book CROCHET CREATURES OF MYTH & LEGEND https://craftyintentions.com/book1.

@farah @nygren they are these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00O8N9V78?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1. @nygren also made me 3D printed washers so they are more secure

@Ksushis @nygren

Thank you for the information!

I bought an over-supply of eyes (nobody sells just two) for my baby dragon.

Hadn't even considered that there is a whole industry out there producing claws, for those times you might need one.

[farah@beige.party]

@Ksushis @nygren Wow brilliant!!

[catdragon@mastodon.world]

@nygren @Ksushis I am bewitched. I need one to guard my home.

[ksushis@hachyderm.io]

@number6 @nygren Yeah, I now have a lot more claws and eyes than I need :). The claws are really for leather jackets and the like, but they work for dragons and other creatures too. These are the claws btw https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00O8N9V78?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

Oh, so *that's* the target market.

A little too late I learned that a good place to get crochet accessories is AliExpress.

It's also not bad for yarn, if you want sport weight yarn from milk cotton. Thicker stuff, it stops being competitive.

@Ksushis @number6 @nygren
Oh nifty! I've been eyeing her pieces on ravelry. May I ask what you think of the patterns, and how much of a time investment they are to make? (For you -- as a rare follower of patterns, I'd expect to double that and upgrade to the next larger time unit.)
