I decided to (finally) unlock Nightborne, and I race changed my vulpera monk (I also have a vulpera priest). I’m not a huge fan of the leather transmogs I have and landing on an outfit has been difficult. I decided to scrap the one pictured above and went with some tier set instead that gave a more ‘monk’ feel.
How important to you is transmog and how your characters look?
I decided to play around a bit with DAZ and do some 3D rendering. I used to a long time ago, but it has been ages and I didn’t have any art assets any more. I keep thinking maybe I’d like to get back into art, and I know it takes practice – but I also have a LOT of hobbies (too many?) and finding time to do everything along with a 2 year old and a 4 year old, is pretty much impossible. Something has to give.
I sort of stumbled down a rabbit hole this week. A few tools that all work well together let me create some animated WoW pieces, which is tons of fun. Pictured above is WoW Model viewer, which can be used with WoW tools, and blender.
I really wish I had more time to play with this stuff.
I’ve cranked out a giant tube using knitpicks Hawthorne yarn, and I’ll separate it into two pieces, then knit a cuff/toe on each – then I’ll cut 32 stitches across one side, and add an afterthought heel.
Ta-da, socks!
I’ve never really thought about how much waste we create with clothes – but I’ve started to. There’s an Etsy vendor called The Frogger Niagara who recycles pure wool clothing from 2nd hand shops, and sells the yarn once it’s cleaned. I’ve made a few purchases from her now, and the yarn is lovely to work with and is typically a sort of luxury fiber that I wouldn’t be able to regularly afford. Pictured above is 50% wool, 40% angora, 10% nylon in sport weight. I’ve also purchased some lace weight from her in cashmere, and while I don’t have any projects in mind for them yet, I can’t wait to knit it up – so soft!
