Plate (39.4 cm in diameter) manufactured on the Aegean island of Cos, ca. 600 BCE. Inscriptions in this battle scene identify the standing figures as Menelaus (left) and Hector, fighting over the body of the Trojan warrior Euphorbus. Homer describes this scene in Iliad 17 and tells us that Euphorbus was slain while attempting to strip the fallen Patroclus of his armor. The plate was found at Camirus (Kameiros) on the island of Rhodes. It is now in the British Museum.

[IMAGE ID: An image of a finished knit project of a snake-themed scarf. The snake scarf is green, dark green and a dark green-blue. There are 2 tassels near the knit snake's mouth in the color red to represent a tongue. /end ID]

she's all done and blocked!!

this was a commission and i was nervous to take it on but i let the recipient know i'm less experienced in knitting vs crochet and she wanted me to try anyways and i'm glad i did! this is only my 2nd knit project that isn't socks so i'm proud of myself lol

pattern - dragon scarf by morehouse farm

yarn - lion brand ferris wheel in evergreen (used a little less than 1 skein)

i do recommend to use felt eyes if you make this scarf because these plastic ones are quite heavy & i'm gonna have to add some glue because the attachment of it is kinda weird and they're floppy
