The History of Estovakia - Episode #16 - Stuff About Ace Combat - Duration: 15:45.
Welcome aces, to the History of Estovakia documentary!
The Federal Republic of Estovakia is our antagonist country in the game Ace Combat 6 and is located
on the eastern edge of the Anean continent.
Estovakia has a population of 63.5 million people according to the 2014 census and is
situated close to Strangereal's North Pole and a great deal of its territory is cold
and mountainous, however I should also mention that Estovakia has several islands and they
will become more important when we get to the Estovakian civil war.
The first thing we know about Estovakia is that on October 8 of 1990, some large offshore
oil facilities located on the northeast of the country were abandoned.
Four years later, in 1994, the Ulysses asteroid was detected and was expected only to hit
the continent of Usea, because of that the Anean countries did not take any particular
measure since they were deemed safe from the meteor catastrophe, however in 1998 a new
space probe found out that the Ulysses asteroid had a hollow interior and because of that
the asteroid would shatter into several pieces.
This new finding added the continent of Anea to the estimated area of impact and the big
thing about this is that the Anean countries had only roughly a year of notice to prepare
for the fall of the asteroid.
Emmeria, Estovakia's western neighbor, focused on building several underground shelters to
protect the civilian population while Estovakia went on the offensive by building a giant
railgun called Chandelier on the northwest of the country in an attempt to intercept
the fragments of the Ulysses asteroid.
From July 8 to July 20 of 1999, fragments of the Ulysses asteroid began falling over Strangereal.
Fortunately for Emmeria, the strategy of constructing several underground bunkers worked, however
Estovakia was unable to complete construction of its giant asteroid-intercepting railgun
because they didn't have enough time and resources to finish the monumental and complex project.
As a result, several fragments of the Ulysses asteroid rained down on Estovakia destroying
the country's economy, infrastructure and taking a very high toll of civilian casualties.
The road to Estovakia's recovery was going to be a long one and thinking about this the
neighbouring country of Emmeria started sending aid to Estovakia in an attempt to speed up
Estovakia's recovery.
However in the year of 2000, the central Estovakian government had lost power because its leaders
went into hiding after failing to properly deal with the disaster and as result several
smaller factions appeared all around the country and managed to control small regions of Estovakia.
And given that these factions started disrupting the flow of aid from Emmeria, the Emmerian
government stopped the aid program to Estovakia.
In the year of 2004 there was a initiative to merge all the three Anean countries, Estovakia,
Emmeria and Nordennavic into one called the Republic of Anea and so the preparatory agency
for the Republic of Anea was created.
On a side note, this event only happened to address the issue that in Ace Combat 5, which
takes place in the year of 2010, the continent of Anea is shown as if it was only one single
country since the borders between Estovakia, Emmeria and Nordennavic are not
displayed on the map.
Now let's go back to the documentary.
Over the years the internal problems within Estovakia continued and in 2007 one faction
called the Lyes United Front (or LUF for short) took over the western portion of the country
including the country's capital.
Emmeria, who was eager to restart its aid program, contacted the LUF about the idea
and the two sides began talking about the deal.
The LUF proposed its own project for Estovakia's rehabilitation to Emmeria, the Emmerians approved
the idea and soon after the Emmerians started sending aid to the LUF.
Now the Lyes United Front was supposed to use that aid and money to help Estovakia's
recovery after the Ulysses, right?
But that's not really what happened, they used the Emmerian funds to buy new weapons
and vehicles which in turn were used to suppress rival factions and this resulted in a LUF
expansion over the Estovakian territory.
As time passed the LUF's territory continued to grow but this doesn't mean that there was
no resistance.
One particular city, the city of Gledina, refused to obey the LUF's rule and because
of this the LUF's forces surrounded the city and cut off the city's lifelines.
As a result essential supplies, including food and aid, could enter the city and this
move by the LUF ended with a massive starvation of the civilian population resulting in over
200,000 deaths, this being the only known case of a genocide within Strangereal.
Outraged by the LUF's actions against the civilian population, several other factions
in Estovakia rose to fight against the LUF, thus officially starting the Estovakian Civil War in the year of 2007.
As you can see in the map I have divided the Estovakian territory into five different regions,
each region represents one of the main factions during the Estovakian Civil War however two
notes about this.
First, this is only a map that I created for illustration purposes only so please don't
take it was as an official map, and second, there were probably more factions in the conflict
but because they were small and less relevant I have not included them.
These five factions are the Lyes United Front, the one who started the civil war and is located
on the western portion of the country and is being funded by Emmeria by using money
from the Emmerian Aid Program to fuel its army - and for the record, this was happening
without Emmeria's knowledge.
The three next factions are the Independent Tariff Federation, the Island Coalition and
the Northern Highlands Faction which also joined the war to fight against the LUF, however
not much is known about them and they only play a minor role in the overall history of
the conflict.
Lastly we have the Eastern Faction to complete the five factions and this one is quite important.
The Eastern Faction was lead by General Gustav Dvornik and when he mobilized his forces to
fight in the Estovakian civil war he also hired mercenaries from Belka and North Osea
(which used to be South Belka before the Belkan War) to develop new weapons that were meant
to be used in the conflict.
One of the notable mercenaries that came from Belka was Lorenz Ridel, who served as Gault 7
during the Belkan War, and he brought Belkan technology coming from the XB-0 heavy command
cruiser which resulted in the development of the Aigaion Heavy Command Cruiser together
with its aerial fleet consisting of the Kottos and Gyges aircraft which were responsible
for ECM and air defence duties respectively.
Moving away from the civil war, in the year of 2008, the countries of Anea were represented
on Strangereal's G7 summit that was being hosted by Osea on the Arkbird.
However shortly after that, the Republic of Anea project was frozen due to the ongoing
Estovakian civil war.
As the civil war progressed, the LUF managed to defeat and occupy territory that belonged
to the Independent Tariff Federation, but its advance then stalled due to the rapid
expansion of the front lines.
Meanwhile the Eastern Faction had been able to absorb the Island Coalition and the Northern
Highlands Faction, therefore leaving the LUF and the Eastern Faction as the two main powers
left in the civil war.
Now do you remember that large oil facility in northern Estovakia that I mentioned in
the beginning of the video?
As it happens, that facility had been abandoned in the year of 1990, but now in 2008, the
Eastern Faction took over the facility to start building the Aigaion and the rest of
the aerial fleet.
During this time the Eastern Faction was also working on the Chandelier, however they were
not able to solve the heating problem and therefore they could not use it during the
civil war.
Two years later, in 2010, the Emmerian government finally stopped sending aid to the LUF because
of the civil war, however it was already too late because the damage had already been done.
The Eastern Faction, seeing that Emmeria had been backing the LUF for the last three years
of the conflict, now considered that Emmeria was just as bad as the LUF.
And the bloody Estovakian civil war continued for three more years until it was time for
the final showdown.
From January 15 to the 22 of 2013, the LUF executed a large scale land and sea assault
against the Eastern Faction that was meant to break the deadlock in the war.
With overwhelming numbers the LUF managed to put the Eastern Faction's troops in a
massive retreat but this didn't last long, shortly after the Eastern Faction deployed
its aerial fleet, the Strigon Team and the Vampire Team on a counter-attack mission.
The tide of the war had quickly changed and in this counter-attack, the aerial fleet and
its supporting squadrons managed to destroy about 80% of the LUF's forces in just one week.
It didn't last very long and the Eastern Faction defeated the LUF shortly after in
a battle close to the Estovakian-Emmerian border, a battle in which Lieutenant General
Lyes, the leader of the LUF, was killed.
With the civil war now over, the Eastern Faction then created a new central government under
the command of the Generals, which included military commanders of the Eastern Faction
and was primarily lead by General Gustav Dvornik.
Later in the month of November of 2013, the Estovakian foreign minister Isaac Arensky
was about to go on a trip to Emmeria in order to attend a conference however his vehicle
was attacked while he was going to the airport.
Foreign minister Arensky was knocked out by a grenade that was thrown at him and he died
a couple of days later on December the 2.
Many people believe that this incident was orchestrated by members of the Eastern Faction
since Arensky and the Estovakian Prime Minister at the time, Jacob Šuker, had bad relations.
However at least the official blame was put on surviving members of the Lyes United Front
when the minister's death was announced, something that happened only in 2014 because
his death was kept as a secret in December of 2013.
In 2014, the year after the end of the civil war, Estovakia faced the following situation:
unemployment rate of over 40%, infrastructure destroyed or non-existent and the country
was even under threat of armed groups spread across the country that wanted to proclaim
independence from the central government.
The Amherst Research Institute, an organization located in Emmeria, estimated that without
any international assistance the country of Estovakia would take over 30 years to recover
its economy to the levels of the 1990s - the pre-Ulysses levels.
Trying to help their neighbouring country, the Emmerians once more restarted their aid
program to Estovakia.
On February 4 there was actually a conference between the two nations to discuss this topic,
and while Emmeria said it had no intention of stopping the aid program, the Emmerians
also said that they feared that the program could be used to fuel and develop another
military dictatorship and therefore repeat the failure that had previously happened during
the civil war with Emmeria backing the LUF.
Estovakia's new Foreign Minister, Antonina Koznick, a former captain of the navy for
the Eastern Faction and the one who replaced foreign minister Arensky, stated that Emmeria
was partially responsible for the Estovakian civil war by assisting the LUF.
However the Emmerian Ambassador Bell stated that it wasn't the case and that the aid
program was supposed to go to the early rehabilitation of Estovakia and not to support the LUF and its atrocities.
The Emmerian Ambassador even continued and said: "Has she ever thought about their position
of being assisted?
I cannot help think that she is trying to take Estovakians' frustrations out on us Emmerians."
Because of a discussion like this the tensions between the two nations increased.
Jumping to April of 2015, a Yuktobanian spy satellite was able to spot the Aigaion at
the oil facility located in northeast Estovakia, and finally on August 30 of 2015 Estovakia
declared war and invaded Emmeria thus starting the Emmerian - Estovakian War, also known
as the Anean Continental War.
The most important factor that lead to this war was the Estovakian hatred towards Emmeria
since Emmeria financed the Estovakian Civil War through its aid program, however another
possible reason in addition to that, and please take this as my personal opinion and not as
a fact since it is not confirmed, is that because of the horrible economic situation
in the home front the Estovakian generals wanted to rally the citizen's patriotic
feelings and unite them against a common enemy by performing a rapid invasion of the country
that financed their civil war - Emmeria.
This would serve as a distraction to the Estovakian population and their problems at home, something
that has happened in real life and was one of the causes of the Falklands War in 1982
between Argentina and the UK.
Coming back to the story, Estovakia invaded Emmeria and quickly took over the country.
Of course these are the events covered in Ace Combat 6 Fires of Liberation and I will
not explain the Emmerian - Estovakian war in detail this time, instead I will leave
that to another video.
What you do have to know is that even though Estovakia deployed its aerial fleet and the
Strigon Squadron, the Estovakians were unable to defend themselves from the Emmerian counter-attack
and even though they deployed their giant railgun, Chandelier, which was now ready,
they could not win the conflict.
The Emmerian - Estovakian war ended sometime after April 1 of 2016, the day when Chandelier
was destroyed, as there was a coup d'etat in Estovakia that overthrew the generals and
formed a new government, a government which quickly restored peace between the two countries.
So this was the History of Estovakia, a Strangereal documentary compiling everything we know about
the country.
I would like to thank the Acepedia staff for the help I've got in the research phase
of this video and if you want to know some more additional details about Estovakia and
related topics you can take a look at the description.
Also a fun fact, remember that the first Estovakian Foreign Minister was named Isaac?
Well, this might be a reference to Vice-Admiral Jorge Isaac Anaya of the Argentine Navy who
was involved in the Falklands War and even planned a sabotage operation against ships
from the Royal Navy in Gibraltar.
Anyways, hope you guys have enjoyed this video and that you can share it with other aces
as well to spread the Ace Combat lore.
This was Ace Combat Fan and stay tuned to the channel for more Ace Combat!

3 razões que fazem qualquer um desistir de estudar inglês, menos você! - Duration: 9:53.
My big worry was the heat and the humidity.
You're fired!
No signal!
No signal here.
No signal at all?
Ah, still no signal.
There's no signal!
The mobile phone throwing championship!
You just try to put it aside and just concentrate on your race.
I kind of told myself: try to keep running, try to stay upright.
My muscles just didn't respond.
I knew if I would stop or sit down, that would be the end of it.
I just was determined to make it to that finish line.
And then I think maybe at 20 miles
I started to really feel the heat.
But, you know, I thought it's six more miles,
and you made till here
and you're not lost, and it looks good.
At that point, it was just:
"I'm in the Olympics, I want to finish this race,
because this is my one and only chance."
It was painful for the first...
you know, in that last lap and in the first hour in the medical tent,
I was in a lot of pain and...
but then after two hours I was fine.

Bill 62 is what Islamophobia looks like - Duration: 4:25.
What you choose to wear shouldn't stop you from getting on the bus,
going to the hospital,
doing, pretty much, anything.
But if you live in Quebec, that's about to change.
In October, Quebec passed Bill 62,
a law aiming to create "religious neutrality."
People who cover their faces in public will be
barred from both giving and receiving public services.
Effectively meaning, Muslim women who wear niqab and burka
can't work as doctors or teachers and
can't do things like get on the bus, take a book out from the library, or pick up
their kid from daycare without uncovering their face.
If this sounds vaguely familiar, it's because efforts to ban religious symbols
in the province have been in the news for years.
In 2013, the Parti Québécois government
tabled Bill 60, also known as the "Charter of Values."
It included a proposal to ban public servants
from wearing prominent religious symbols.
While promotion of the bill suggested it would affect workers equally, it would
likely have had a bigger impact on people of the Sikh, Jewish and Muslim faiths.
After the Parti Québécois was defeated by the Liberals 2014, the new
government introduced its own proposal the following year. This time, the focus
was on banning covered faces.
On October 18, Quebec's majority-Liberal National Assembly
officially passed the bill into law with 66 votes in favour, and 51 against.
Premier Philippe Couillard defended the law, by saying it's about communication, identification and safety.
The government said there will be a
mechanism to ensure that people won't be subject to this law because of their faith
but it's unclear how that will work, since the law now appears to be
targeting one particular expression of faith.
This could just be viewed as a typical case of overreach:
as part of Quebec's pursuit to rid itself of tyrannical religious relics
secular politics have become tyrannical.
But this ban isn't about religion, it's about one particular religion.
It's absurd to argue that these women are a threat to Quebec's secular culture
it's estimated that there are fewer than 100 of them
but their image is powerful
because they represent the kind of difference some Quebecers are uncomfortable with
and the Liberals know it.
The amount of political effort that has been thrown behind this law reveals less
about the crusade for secular society than it does about which group
is politically palatable to target.
Islamophobia conveniently hides behind the shield of secularism in Quebec
and many Quebecers have argued that Islamophobia has a particular history of acceptance there.
Last year, a Forum poll found 28 per cent of Canadians
viewed Muslims unfavourably.
Quebecers polled at 48 per cent.
Considering the impact Bill 62 will have, it's laughable to hear
Quebec Justice Minister Stéphanie Vallée
insist this new law is part of the pursuit of the neutrality of the state.
This law will only fuel Islamophobic sentiments, similar to what happened when
Donald Trump was elected U.S. President.
We cannot afford to be so politically correct anymore.
[Applause]
If we've learned anything in the last year, it's that you
can't just shove those sentiments back in the box.
This law sends a message to these women
that choosing to express their faith in this way is an affront to
"Canadian values" that it's okay to treat some people like second-class citizens
and if they don't look like "us" they don't have a right to the services they
fund with their taxes.
In a year where six Muslim men were killed because of their faith—
in that very province—the Liberal government has chosen to send a
message that Muslims will never belong unless it's on the government's terms.
Not only does this law feed the insidious strain of Islamophobia that
has taken hold in Quebec, it puts thousands of public servants in
the awkward position of enforcing systemic discrimination. The union
representing bus drivers in Montreal has already said
that drivers don't want to be responsible for enforcement.
Many Quebecers have made clear they don't support this law.
Protesters covering their faces descended on the Metro in Montreal, the weekend after the vote.
This legislation may not withstand a legal challenge
but either way it has the added cruel effect of making this small
yet very visible group of women act as a proxy in an ongoing identity war they didn't ask to be a part of.
So no, this isn't what "religious neutrality" looks like.
This is what Islamophobia looks like.

Breaking: Congress Just ENDED It For Anti-American NFL With Just One Swipe Of The Pen. - Duration: 4:29.
BREAKING: Congress Just ENDED It For Anti-American NFL With Just One Swipe Of The Pen.
Over the past couple of weeks, NFL protests have metastasized into something racist and
vile. No longer are some of these athletes happy to quietly protest by sitting or kneeling
through our National Anthem, as we're now seeing an increasing number of athletes flashing
black power salutes after they sack white players on the field.
President Trump has had enough, and several days ago spoke out about the NFL allowing
this to go on, telling Americans to turn off the game, while advising NFL owners to "get
that son of a b***h off the field right now … he's fired!"
Over the weekend, these players held massive protests across the NFL to defy President
Trump, where over 200 athletes took a knee or sat, with entire teams choosing to stay
in the locker room as the National Anthem played. These players have grown increasingly
cocky over the past week, believing they're unstoppable, while ignoring the will of their
patriotic fans, who are now causing their viewership to plummet into the double digits.
As angry Americans continue to prove they have better things to do other than being
bombarded with the anti-American sentiments of "oppressed" millionaires, Congress
is now stepping in with an action that could ruin everything overnight for the NFL, with
one simple swipe of a pen.
One thing people don't realize is the NFL currently gets over a billion dollars in taxpayer-funded
federal subsidies. The fancy stadiums that these entitled players continue to kneel and
disrespect our country in were bought and funded by the American tax payer, where we've
foot the bill for 20 NFL stadiums since 1997.
Over the past 20 years, the American people have spent spent a whopping $7 billion to
renovate or build NFL stadiums, providing 46% of the total costs of these fancy stadiums.
But all that could soon change after what Congress just announced. In the U.S. Senate,
there is a bill currently being reviewed that would BAN the use of federal money for the
construction and financing of professional sports arenas. Conservative Fighters reports:
"Well, how about that; it turns out that there's even more that the government and
taxpayers do for those players than just show up at their games and buy their overpriced
jerseys. Apparently, our hard earned tax dollars are going to help out with those stadiums
that we only get to enter when we pay an additional fee," Kat from Freedom Daily reported.
Unfortunately for the anti-American NFL, empty stadiums and plummeting viewership could soon
be the least of their concerns. If these subsidies suddenly end, all the NFL would have to fork
out their own money to build and maintain these fancy stadiums, meaning they'd have
no choice but to listen to their angry fans and put an end to these protests.
As these cocky players continue to disrespect our country, our police, and every Oklahoma
Republican Rep. Steve Russell first presented the bill a few months ago, and now has become
an interest to others as well as the NFL players continue to express their dishonor of America.
The bill already has bipartisan support.
'The federal government is responsible for a lot of important functions, but financing
sports stadiums for multi-million – sometimes billion – dollar franchises is definitely
not one of them,' Rep. Russell said.
The financing is a form of community bonds that channel taxpayers' money into the projects
for construction of sports arenas.
For the past 17 years, 36 professional athletic stadiums have been built or renovated by federal
tax-exempted municipal bonds. This cost taxpayers $3.2 billion," the Caller explained, quoting
information from the Brookings Institute.
Advocates for the federal funding of professional sports arenas often justify the costs by pointing
to economic development, but new research shows that isn't true.
'There is no statistically significant positive correlation between sports facility construction
and economic development,' the Journal of Economic Perspectives said."
American soldier who has fought, bled, and died to protect America, the one thing they
didn't consider was the will of the American people. After refusing to listen to their
vast patriotic fanbase, now they'll be incurring the full wrath of GOP lawmakers who overnight
could ruin everything for them with this wonderful new piece of legislation.

Deep Inertia - Teaser Trailer - Duration: 2:08.
It was still midday when I stood over the torn earth, eyes heavy and dry from the heatwave
that made the dense forest surrounds look to be closing in.
This was the day.
This pit, the catalyst for all that would happen to make me question everything I thought
I knew.
My convictions..., my only friends left on this rock.
Any normal man would have sold out, compromised his morality, judgement, integrity.
Taken up the bottle, started acting irrationally.
Any normal man...
I'd done them all in quick succession long before.
My dramatic spiral of self-pity headed to rock bottom.
What kind of man does that make me?
It's a rhetorical question.
None of that really matters now.
None of this does.
Not anymore.

At what speed do you have to be talking, where people are
like oh, this is an auction?
- Well, it's not necessarily speed, what they do do, is
communicate numbers...
- Do do?
- Do do? - They do do, that's right, they do do. (laughs)
- They do do, that's right, they do do. (laughs)
- (laughs) let's stay on track, Brian.
- Yeah, that's right, I'm sorry.
They talk fast enough to where they can sell a lot of items
quickly, and they abbreviate terms.
Um..
Like, who would give me five dollars?
- And then you go "whood'yagimme ten"
- That's it.
And then you shorten it: whodagibbeda. Whodagibbeda...
- Whodagibbeda?
- Whodagimmeda. Whodagibmeda...
- Whodagibbeda.
- Whodagibbeda.
-That's...
So you went to school, and your teacher said, "That's right,
say whodagibbeda"?
- That's called a filler word.
- Whodagimmeda ten dollars, now whodagimmeda 15 dollars,
now whodagimmeda 20 dollars.
- Whodagibbeda 3, now 4, who would gimme 5, now 6,
who would gimme 7...
who would gimme 7... - Is this someone else's... little word?
- Is this someone else's... little word?
- No. Well, I'm sure somebody uses it.
- I wanna come up with my own thing, though.
- We'll have to come up with one.
- What about "heytigganow"?
- That's great. Heytigganow one, heytigganow two,
heytigganow 3, now 4, now 5, now 6, heytigganow 7.
So you switch it up to where they do not get bored of that,
and then come back to it. -Keep the audience
It was time for the last phase of my training, so we went
outside and did the exact same thing standing up.
- You've got the basics of the chant down now.
Using your filler word "tigganow", start at ten, tigganow
20, go up to 100, and what we're gonna do is we're gonna
time you, and see if you can get it done in 10 seconds - go!
- Ten now, 20 now, 30 now, gimmenow 40now, caminnida

tigganow, oh boy.
- 11 seconds.
- That was 11 seconds?
- 11 seconds.
Alright - do it again: go!
- Tigganow 10, tigganow 20, tigganow 30, tigganow 40,
tigganow 50, tigganow 60, tigganow 70 - dammit.

right, blue truck right in front of me, we got a graveyard

Crochet Flamingo Tutorial - Duration: 34:05.
Hello everyone, thank you for joining me. Today we're going to crochet this
flamingo.
Now I'll be using pink cotton, I use two ply cotton, black and white I'll be
using for the beak. You could use wool if you'd prefer. I'll use a crochet hook,
scissors, I use a darning needle to finish my ends
and I use sewing cotton and a needle to embroider in my eye but you could use
embroidery cotton if you'd prefer. Now I'm starting with the head. I make a
magic loop, and work three chain, into my circle I'm going to work 15 double
crochet. I'll be using US terminology.
Then I pull my circle tight and join with a slip stitch into the third chain,
and that's the head finished I'll fasten off.
For the body I also start with a magic loop, and three chain, and I work 14 double
crochet into my circle.
Pull the circle tight and slip stitch into the third chain. For row two you
start with three chain and work one double crochet in the same place as the
chain, and then we work two double crochet into each stitch around. So I'll
complete this row and I'll meet you at the end. At the end of the row we slip
stitch into the third chain. For row three we begin with three chain, and work
a double crochet into the same place as the chain. Now we work one double crochet
into each of the next two stitches, and then two double crochet into the
following stitch, and we repeat that round. One double crochet into each of
the next two stitches, and then two double crochet into the following stitch
all the way round. So I'll do this row and I'll be back. At the end of the row
we join with a slip stitch into the third chain and that's the body done, but
we don't fasten off, we begin with the tail. So we start with three chain, and we
work one double crochet into each of the next four stitches,
and then a decrease double crochet over the next two stitches. For row two of the
tail we start with three chain, and turn, and we work 2 decrease double crochet
over the next four stitches. So a decrease double crochet into the first
two stitches, a decrease double crochet into the next two, and then we work one
double crochet into the last stitch, and then work three chain, and turn. Now we're
going to work a double crochet cluster over the three remaining stitches,
and that's our tail finished so I'll fasten off. Now I'll just weave in my ends and
I'll be back and we'll do the neck. Now for the neck I join my cotton
straight across from the middle of the tail, so in that stitch, and I work twenty
chain.
And then I join to my head just anywhere, into the first stitch I work
one single crochet, and then I work a decrease single crochet over the next
two stitches so I pick up a loop from the next two stitches and yarn around
and through two, and then a single crochet into the next stitch, another
decrease single crochet over the following two stitches, and now I work
one single crochet into each of the next nine chain.
Now two single crochet into the next stitch, one single crochet into the
following stitch, and then two single crochet into the next, and now work a
single crochet in the remaining chain.
Now we work a single crochet in each stitch around the body, I'm going to
crochet in my end.
Now I'll stop one stitch before the end, the beginning of the neck, so I'll do
that and I'll be back. We work a double crochet cluster into the last stitch of
the body, the stitch between the body and the neck, and then the first stitch of
the neck.
Now we work into the back of the chain along the neck. Into the first stitch we
work a half double crochet, into the next stitch we work a decrease half double
crochet,
and a single crochet into the next, and
a decrease single crochet into the following stitch. Now we work one single
crochet into each of the next nine stitches,
two single crochet into the following stitch, then one single crochet, two
single crochet into the next stitch, and then a single crochet into any remaining
stitches, and then a single crochet into each stitch around the head.
And then we slip stitch into the beginning, just in the neck, and fasten
off.
And that's the body, head, and neck done. Now I'm going to start on the front leg now.
I miss about six stitches, and start, join my yarn there. I start with 24 chain,
now I miss the first chain and I slip stitch into the next two chain, and then I
half double crochet into the following chain, and that's the first toe. Now I
work four chain, I miss the first chain, I slip stitch into each of the next three
chain,
and then just into the top of the half double crochet. For the third toe I work
four chain, miss the first, and slip stitch into the three chain,
and then into the top of the half double crochet again.
Once our toes are complete we work three single crochet into the stitch
just behind our foot,
and then we work one single crochet into each chain until we have four left,
and then we work one half double crochet into each of the next two stitches, and
then one double crochet into each of the last two,
and then slip stitch into the body,
and that's the front leg done. Now slip stitch into the next stitch and we'll
start the back leg. We start with 24 chain,
now miss the first chain and slip stitch into each of the next three chain,
then work four chain, miss the first chain and slip stitch into each of the next
three chain,
and then into the top of the other toe. Now we work three single crochet into
the next stitch, and now one single crochet into each of the next eight
chain.
Now work five single crochet into the next chain,
and then one single crochet into each chain until the last four,
and then work one half double crochet into each of the next two, and one
double crochet into each of the last two, and then slip stitch into the body
and fasten off.
And that's the legs done, they go just like that, I'll have to
give them a bit of an iron. I'll start on the wing now. I attach my cotton at
the end of the tail, and work one chain and a single crochet, now I work five
chain, I miss the next two stitches and work a
single crochet into the following stitch, and then work five chain, and work a
single crochet into the third stitch, and I repeat that across, five chain, miss
two stitches and work a single crochet into the third, I work, do that right
across to the neck,
and that's the first row complete.
I work one chain and turn, and work a single crochet in to the top of the loop,
and then I work five chain, and single crochet into the next loop, and just
repeat across.
I work a single crochet into the top of the last loop and then work one chain
and turn, and work a single crochet into this loop. I get less loops each time, and
I continue this way till I have six rows.
So I'll continue on and I'll be back just towards the end of the sixth row.
Now that's the end of the sixth row, I've only got three loops left then, so I'll
fasten off.
And our wing folds down over the body, I'll iron it down when I iron the
feet flat. I'm going to start on the beak now. I start with white and I join my
yarn five stitches up from the neck, in there, and I work two chain, a half double
crochet in the same spot as the chain,
and then two half double crochet into the next stitch. For row two I work two
chain, I work a decrease half double crochet into the same place as the chain
and the next stitch, and then I work another decrease half double crochet in
the same place as the last stitch from the last half double crochet and the next
stitch, and then I fasten off my white,
and join my black in,
and work two chain,
and I work a half double crochet cluster over the next two stitches, and that's
the beak done, I'll fasten it off.
Now I'll finish off my endings and give it an iron and then I'll just have to
put on the eye. Now that's the Flamingo ironed, finished off and ironed. All I've
got to do now is cover the center circle with black. So I just stitch that on, I
just stitch over the circle,
just like that. So I'll finish that one off and I'll be back to show you the
finished flamingo. Now that's the flamingo finished. If you like my
