I'm sure there's a quote about dragons not disappearing, but learning to hide in plain sight, and I have no idea where it's from, or who says it, except for it's a man with a lovely voice. Anyone have any ideas?

Aah I love the hidden dragon! I've been trying to make an illusion knitted piece but I keep putting it off because I'm sure I'll mess it up :p This looks great!

It's a lot easier than I expected, give it a go! I've got another one lined up, and promised my boyfriend an illusion world map if he bought me the wool...
