I know nothing about knitting, but this looks really cute. May I ask what it is you're knitting Twilight's cutie mark onto? c:

Aww, that's gonna be super cute. Please tell me you're gonna get a unicorn horn headband or something too. xD

8DDDDDDDDDDDDD THAT LOOKS ADORABLE! Like urbanberber I know absolutely nothing about knitting, but it looks adorable!

Also, welcome to cosplay: it is always biting off more than you can chew. XD

Thank you! The knitter in me is just seeing all the baggy stitches and mistakes and agjajfnf

I am finding this! I suppose I should be grateful that I don't have to make armour :p

It looks perfectly lovely to me and even reading the comments I can't see the flaws? I mean other than the low resolution, which is hardly avoidable unless you want to make a whopping great knitbeast the size of a room. Or use tendril-fingered elves to do tiny tiny stitching. Eh?

Goshdarnit, why didn't using the elves occur to me? I'm sure I have some tendril-fingered ones somewhere.

I agree with you about the white points: I think in the actual version I'll try and make them pointier and less like straight lines, and be a bit more mindful about their angle. (all knitting is just straight lines! It is a secret that nobody shares)

I have a wig, yep! It should be here any day now.
