Stormcloak Banner Pictures Yay!

Look at how beautiful it looks hanging up on the wall! ^_^

Here's a close up:

Yes, there are tacks in it so that is was stretched out properly, because when it hangs, the sides curl in a bit like this:
 
Here's a more accurate photo of the colors, the flash on my camera makes it look like a lighter blue:

 And here's the fancy curtain rod that I bought just for it because I needed something to hang it up with and this decorative curtain rod, I feel does just that and also looks appealing.

I had lots of fun trying to hang this up, and by lots I mean none at all. When I started putting the screws in for the curtain rod holder, three of the nails holding the paneling in place popped out because they were the crappy short little nails you use to put those stupid cardboard backing onto entertainment centers and such. So I went to the store and bought actual paneling nails, and learned that the plaster wall between the paneling and the outside brick wall is very thin and that's why there was such short nails in the paneling. Which leaves my wondering, "Is that why it's the only wall facing outside that has paneling?".
And in case you missed it in my last post:

Skyrim Stormcloak Banner


Yay! It's finally done. So I lost the cord for my camera (not my video camera, my regular camera), so I can't put up any pictures, but here's a video I made of it. Hopefully I will find it soon and I will upload actual pictures. 
Now if you're interested, I used:
Lion Brand Yarn Hometown USA
6 skeins of San Diego Navy
&
not quite 1 skein of Los Angeles Tan 

I thought I was going to use 4 skeins of blue and 2 of the white, I estimated horribly. But I guess it doesn't really matter much because I still have a whole skein of super soft white yarn that I can make something with ^_^
