I wouldn’t say not good, I can use the same brushes etc. in Procreate as well. It’s more a personal preference of display-less tablet and keyboard! I use a ton of shortcuts in quick succession and found this doesn’t work too well in Procreate : )

Thank you! : ) I did the rough sketch in Procreate and the rendering in CSP!

I don’t keep track on how long a drawing takes me, but it’s been a few days on-and-off working on it, so I’d say like 10ish hours?

This is a great store, thank you for sharing! And seems like they might also ship to my place (tho probably at horrendous shipping rates, I’ll have to check on that hahah) Either way it’s good to get an overview of available yarns, so really thanks a lot!

Thank you so much for your help! May I ask, do you see any way to achieve the patterns gauge with 8sts x 6rows on 4"x4" with 6mm hook? It says with front loop stitches, does that actually make a huge difference? I did make a test patch, but had double the gauge size (16sts x 12rows). Now, it looks nice this way, but after using up a whole skein to estimate the needed yarn, I realized it would actually be more than ~210€ worth of it, which just seems so much to me 😅 but that’s why I’m asking, I have actually no idea how much is usually needed.

Thank you so much! Yea unfortunately they don’t ship to my place : ( that’s like my main problem, I can’t seem to get the recommended yarns here. But from what y’all tell me the wool price is about what I have to expect for this project! (and the aran yarn I found isn’t much cheaper really)

Tho I have to admit, I have decided to go for a different cardigan now, one that doesn’t need as much material 😅 I’ve used up the wool skein I had to see how much I can make with it, and it turns out I would probably need more like over ~210€ worth of yarn (damn that nice looking floor length hahah). I want to get back to it later tho, when I’m more confident in my crocheting knowledge and have a bit of money on the side!

Thank you for your good luck wishes! When I finish one of the cardigans, I’m happy to share here!

Thank you, this is extremely helpful! I’ve never made a piece of clothing before, so I have a hard time telling how much it would cost. Even just knowing that this is generally about how much I have to spend is worth a lot! I was looking at cotton before actually, but neither online nor at the store I could really find colors I liked. And since they weren’t a lot cheaper, I thought I might as well pay a little more and get a color I really like.

Only the gauge has me really confused. From what I’ve looked up, I feel like 8sts x 6rows is very little for 10x10cm, with the wool I got for testing I would need twice as much.

Thanks a lot! It’s an idea for a Blades in the Dark character, haven’t thought too much about their backstory yet other than they are Tycherosi (people often seen as strange and demonic) and that they probably dealt with death and corpses in the deathlands (preset area from the game). Might think more on it later/make it an independent character!
