LOOKIT, I HAVE PLASTIC CANVAS! YAAAY!

...

Now whut? D:


Ah, the first project of a brand spankin' new cosplayer. I think I'm supposed to do this, *Slams face into canvas repeatedly*
I'll get it eventually. AFTER Christmas, that is. Dad alerted me four days before they have to be ready that I need to make four dream catchers for some family members. Fun!
But once the Holidays are over and done with, I'll begin serious work on my first job-- The hat. Since I'm using the canvas method I'm not too worried about screwing anything up. The canvas is cheap, and I can do stuff with even leftovers and chopped up bits. The bad part about the whole thing is *Gasp* MATH. Dear Wizeman I hate math. I really want to skip the essential step of paper calculations and sketching because that's what I hate most. But I can't. Jackle horns being as obnoxious as they are, they of course have to go on at a SLANT, and I don't want to run out of canvas by butchering curves out of all the sheets. *Face palm* But I'll get there! Does anyone have any advice on how to make the actual hat part of the 'hat'? Such as how to place strips so they actually fit? XD

Hmm, I wonder if Styrofoam will work for the collar...

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, perhaps I should have directly consulted someone, but I'm not 100% sure who I would and I think a member might be able to answer my question.

My friend is trying to start an account, but everytime she tries to log in she gets this:

The error returned was: You do not have permission to view this board

Any clue how we can solve this? Thanks for your time.

First off: I apologize if this is the wrong area for this thread. I'm air-headed and this was my best guess.

I've never been to an anime convention before, but I've been wanting to for a while now and I've been considering some. I'm in a rather non-California-location location, so somewhere in San Francisco or the like obviously won't work, and the closest one appears to be 'NekoCon' in Hampton Roads. I'm wondering if anyone here has ever been to one of them, if so, what's it like? I've been to website and all, but they don't seem to keen on divulging information. Is it a good con? Are you going next year? So-on and so-forth.

It's true, they are purple!

Anyway. NiGHTS-themed crochet or knit. Have you ever done it? Thought about? Come across it? Have any patterns, ideas, or equipment? Well feel free to share right here!


Personally, I have a pattern for a crochet Koala plush that I'm working on adapting into a Cat. After I do that, I'm thinking about changing it again into a kind of Chao/Chibi-like NiGHTS, and I'll be sure to post pictures if I do that. (I'm certainly not looking forward to trying to swap yarn colors.)
