Suzaku gloves!

[grendelity.livejournal.com]

I finally finished a pretty intense and kind of ridiculous knitting project: gauntlets based on Suzaku's Knight of Seven cape. I have needed this in my life for so long.

These are seriously adorable and well-made. :)

[grendelity.livejournal.com]

Thank you! They took...a lot of practice, haha. I think I made five separate gloves before I managed to have a pair that matched and looked right.

[dragonlover58.livejournal.com]

Those look amazing! :D Great job!

[grendelity.livejournal.com]

Thank you! ♥ And gosh let me just say I love your icon. Every time I see it I have to sit and watch it for a while.

[ch0copockii.livejournal.com]

...Allow me to die in your place. :D Even though Suzaku isn't my favorite, I would kill to have those! Great job!

[grendelity.livejournal.com]

Thank you! The best part about the pattern is any Rounds member could get substituted, heh. I've been tinkering with a Lelouch/Zero-themed pattern lately, though. [I am the derpiest knitter around, I swear.]

[ch0copockii.livejournal.com]

You're lucky though, I wish I could knit~ Except I'm bad at anything with my hands and will most likely mess up what I'm trying to do, lol.

AND YOU MUST POST THAT PATTERN ONCE YOU ARE DONE. :D Whatever you do is gonna be epic, I know it!

very cool. :)

[francesca orsetti (from livejournal.com)]

wow <3

[rkemy.livejournal.com]

Ho-ho! You finished the other one! Man, you’re fast.

And they look so wonderful.

[grendelity.livejournal.com]

Lawd, I absolutely do not feel fast. I think every time I knit one of these, it took me four days. THAT'S A LONG TIME FOR ME. XD;; But yus thank youuu. ♥

[unikorn.livejournal.com]

Oooh those are amazing! Nice work! :D

[grendelity.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! I now impatiently await cold weather so I can actually wear them, haha.

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

I am in awe. Congrats on completing them!

[grendelity.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I've honestly been wanting to make them for years, ever since I first started knitting. I think I had to level up a few times before I could do it successfully, haha.

[megalomaniageek.livejournal.com]

Those are fantastic. I am super jelly right now.

[grendelity.livejournal.com]

Thank you! If you or someone you can persuade is a knitter, I would be more than happy to pass along the pattern~

[fire-rose17.livejournal.com]

That is so totally geeky. And I want a pair.

Too bad I don't knit. I could barely make a pillow in home ec.

[grendelity.livejournal.com]

Hee, thank you. Knitting just takes practice! I was absolutely terrible when I first started. :)

[suanz.livejournal.com]

Wow!! Very pretty.

(love the haughty Suzaku pic) ^^

[grendelity.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It's...deceptively hard to find official art that's a good shot of Suzaku's back when he's wearing that cape, haha.

[tennouji-nerin.livejournal.com]

Wow that's so pretty *0* You're super good at this! I can knit too but can only blindly follow directions... *hides face*

[grendelity.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you! Knitting just takes practice. This was actually my first custom pattern, and it took a ton of trial and error to get it right. If you'd like to give it a try I'd be happy to give you the pattern/instructions! ♥

[tennouji-nerin.livejournal.com]

Wow, your first and it's already this good! You'll become a knitting monster in no time! Lol.

R..really?! I'd be grateful if you could send me the instructions. *begs*

[grendelity.livejournal.com]

Here you go! (http://www.mediafire.com/?44d64cjiosiu5g6) Let me know how it goes. I'd be happy to clarify anything...since I'm sure what sounded logical in my head probably didn't translate all that well to everyone else, haha.

[tennouji-nerin.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! If I ever manage to produce a decent pair, I'd be sure to show it you ^.~

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

They are just...so incredibly nifty.

[grendelity.livejournal.com]

Why, thank you! I consider it to be time well-spent. C:

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I cannot stop grinning. I love those!

[grendelity.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! I'm pretty pleased, myself. :D

[gods-debris.livejournal.com]

Can I buy some from you? D:

[grendelity.livejournal.com]

You can! But keep in mind that this would be a bit of a pricey commission due to the time and supplies that go into it. If you're really interested, though, please send me a PM. :)

[juin-kadsuki.livejournal.com]

As a fellow knitter, I SALUTE YOU!!!!! <33333

[grendelity.livejournal.com]

Fff, thank you! Let me just say I have never hated those wings more than when I was knitting them. XD;;

[juin-kadsuki.livejournal.com]

I seriously think I can understand how you feel. orz

[orange-kitty521.livejournal.com]

waah! this is awesome!!! <3

[yokokaru-chan.livejournal.com]

so cool! you did a great job *v*

[toujourspret.livejournal.com]

So. Cool.

[bakuhatsumar.livejournal.com]

Wow! They look really good! Thanks for sharing photos of your hard work. :)

[grendelity.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm glad everyone likes them. :D

[loyaldreamer.livejournal.com]

Awesome job :D Don't feel geeky, just shows how much of a fan you are :D

[grendelity.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Bahaha oh god no I totally feel like a derp. I'LL STILL WEAR THEM EVERYWHERE, but yeah. derp.

[fujiappletan.livejournal.com]

SO COOL *___________*

[rafira.livejournal.com]

those are ULTRA spiffy.

[ladraove.livejournal.com]

This is epic! I wonder if something like this would work with crochet? I'm not familiar with knitting vs crochet....

That's beside the point, though. Awesome job!! <3

[grendelity.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I'm not sure, actually. My experience is pretty exclusive to knitting, but my hunch is that it would be completely different beast to render this in crochet. I bet a Rounds lace pattern for crochet would be freakin' awesome, though....

[ladraove.livejournal.com]

You're right, that would be epic! That will be my ultimate goal, lol. I haven't even learned how to crochet yet, my class is on the 12th. XD
