Throwback Thursday - Custom Order Viking Helmet

This one...yep this one was trouble! I remember struggling on how to create the horns in a way that matched what a Viking helm may look like. Obviously, it is not a true representation. Yet, it does give a nice nod. Yes, that is a crocheted blanket to the right of the photo, but I did not crochet it. It was a gift. That woman is me though! Unfortunately, I did not write this pattern down as it was just free hand. I might be tempted in creating the pattern in the future if there is interest....

What have you crocheted freehand?

Throwback Thursday - Roman Helm

This Roman Helm was a difficult task, but a fun one. I had been crocheting for about 2 years when I got asked to create this and a Viking Helmet. I decided to accept the challenge and began trying to accomplish something similar to a Roman helm. Despite it not being a true representation, I thought it provided a close representation to one. I used heather gray for the helm and cherry red for the floppy brush. Looking back, I should have used starch to make it stand up!

What a wonderful way to spend Thursday!
