#Needleworkmonday:: Captain America Crochet Knitted

The trip from Venezuela to Colombia was made to buy the crochet threads, the trip was quite an adventure, as the border has been closed for months and the passage is through the so-called trails or green roads, where you have to pay commission to pass, and thus cross a river on bags, climbs and descents full of mud. It was a round trip that lasted 42 hours of pure adrenaline, between the hours sitting on the bus and the quick shopping, with wet feet after crossing the river. Anyway after all that crossing I arrived to my country with all my threads to begin this great project.

Elaboration of two previous models and sketch of the pattern: before making the final model two previous models were made, the first captain America I did spontaneously (ie without any pattern, I was only molding as I knitted) with the aim of doing and observing how to incorporate as much detail as possible, the second model accounted for the points and corrected details of the first as: the thickness of the arms and make it less waist. Finished the second design, it had not been as I wanted, it was very long, so I removed turns to the second pattern to make it less long, thus achieving the Captain America woven as I wanted, the third was the ideal and already with the pattern established, only 3 days late weaving the third model. All this process took 3 weeks, then shows the images of the sketch of the pattern, which shows the pattern of the second model and highlights the rows eliminated to reach the third model.

Digitization of the pattern: once the definitive model was made, we began to digitize the patterns, first I began with Word, where I digitized three patterns: that of the footbed, the boot of the feet and the legs, then I observed by the pattern design scheme, that it was more viable to work it in Excel and I made the design of the body and the arm in Excel, then the design of the head and the helmet for being circular I decided to work it with the mathematical program Geogebra, thus obtaining the digitization of the patterns as shown below:

Spectacular, especially when in the third attempt I achieve what I wanted, 2 previous designs were made before reaching the final pattern. It was something to which I devoted enough time with pleasure and enthusiasm because I wanted something really beautiful and eye-catching, to please both my followers of steemit, as my son and also a quality product for sale. I consider that I met the goal I had set myself, it took me a month and a half to complete the first design of the project but it was worth the time devoted to it. It was something I enjoyed and I also felt very satisfied and happy to design and develop the Captain America crochet knitted to my liking, with as many details as possible and creating my own pattern, which would facilitate the development to others.
