the fierce and friendly dragon is approximately 10" from the tip of his tail to his snout, 3" from the tip of his toes to the ridges on his back, and 6" across his wingspan.
did you notice the oxford comma? that's right, i used the oxford comma. take note; i generally reject it completely.
the fierce and friendly dragon may be my favorite crocheted goodness so far. he's just so cute! i mean, he's got wings! and purple ridges down his back! and his face has so much personality! and i'm using a lot of exclamation points!
i learned how to front-post crochet when doing his wings. instead of going through the V at the top of the stitch, you work around the post (which sounds obvious, i suppose, but it was new to me). it gives his wings their underside ridges.
in other news, i also learned how to crochet in a spiral last night. not a hard technique, but a little tricky to keep the yarns from tangling as you're working all the colors simultaneously. now to just find a good use for it.
