Fictional Harena RenFest Shoes

So. Some of you may be familiar with my fictional character Harena (aka ), who was originally spawned in the SluggyMARE and took on a life of her very own here on dA...

...and there came a day when her Mommy (aka ) said, "Let's Do RenFest!" And f!H said, "Yayayay, okay!" And then said, "Me too!" and so did and a splendid time was planned!

I was a bit baffled what to wear when I went 'cause I had never been to a RenFaire before and then the obvious solution hit me: I should go as the Human Manifestation of f!Harena! And a costume began to be Plotted: I could make a tricorn like my previous ones only in green, Erika could lend me a shirt, I had pants that would double as green tights... I could use my dad's childhood longbow (which I ended up restringing with bright green cotton!)... The only thing really missing was proper shoes...

...and then Ravelry stepped up to bat! linked me this pattern and the rest is history! A friend from my String Thing group even kindly hand-sewed leather soles on them for me!

Unfortunately, it poured down rain the morning we were slated to go and the ground was way too wet for me to wear them... I'll eventually post a picture of me in full garb once i get the tricorn uploaded!
Edit: Here is the Human Manifestation of f!Harena as played by meeeeee!


Worked up with a double strand of KnitPicks Parade (unfortunately discontinued ) using an I hook.
