This is a backpack that I have been sitting on for a while. The original idea for this Dragon Backpack was for my wife to have something to carry her portable oxygen concentrator in while she would go to conventions. Unfortunately, I need got around to making it because my wife got too sick because of what Covid did to her to continue to go to conventions. Only the core pieces of the backpack were made with a double strand of yarn throughout. I know that then pattern calls for sewing thread, but I used something that I have found to be much stronger than simple sewing thread – dental floss. That is what I used to sew the straps in place.

CASTLE CHESS SET
This is an adaptation of my tabletop chess set. The color of the pieces was picked by my coworker. The chessboard is designed to look like a three-dimensional castle. The drawbridge opens so that the pieces can be stored inside of the castle. The size of the squares on the chessboard is based on the base of the kings and queens. The pieces have different sized bases. The base colors for the pieces are white and black with a touch of color on them. The chessboard squares can be done in any color combination.
The wooden circles are glued to the bottom of the pieces to give them more stability while on the board. The foam board is inserted in the walls of the Castle border. I also glued a piece of foam board to the bottom of the BOARD.
MATERIALS:
Worsted weight yarn: Black, white, red, royal, gold, buff, café latte, charcoal, dark chocolate, and dusty grey.
B (for pieces) and F (for board) crochet hooks
Polyester Fiberfill
Tapestry needle
Cardboard circles cut to match the bases on the pieces
Wooden circles
Glue
Velcro
Foam board
Floral wire
Wooden skewers
1 inch gray button
