Fishometer


Here's a pic of the blanket so far, there are 62 fish pictured here (you can see the 2 that escaped, they will have place soon enough). The blanket currently measures 30" x 41" at the moment. So I'm reckoning on about 100 needed for a decent size afghan. No sewing done so far, but I'm sure once the sewing starts the fish will fit together better, and (hopefully) lie flatter. The one good thing (maybe there are more than one) about chenille, is that the fish don't "bobble" in the body as other people have noticed with other yarns.

The Leisel scarf is now 18" long, so a fair way to go yet, but I'm well on the way. Here it is in progress.

Oh yes, and Mum opened her gothic window lace scarf today (as it's her birthday today) and she loves it! So glad she does.
