Another Mermaid Tail

Yes, I know this is identical

to the previous Mermaid Tail Blanket

but they loved the colours so much

that they wanted it to be the same!

Either way, 

here are some photo's!

(Taken with my phone as camera has retired)

Blogging?

It appears with the demand of keeping up with
social networking, making things to sell, studying and working
that I've fallen out of love with blogging all the things I make lately.

The ease of Instagram means I can upload a photo quick smart from my phone
or tablet anytime or anywhere and not have to worry about formatting an entire post,
editing photos from my camera memory card and
making sure the batteries in my camera are charged etc. etc.

I would encourage you to check out my other social networking profiles
 if you really would like to know about the things I'm making.

Mermaid Tail Blanket

I have just finished crocheting my first

Mermaid Tail Blanket!

This was a custom request by a family member

who chose the colour scheme herself.

This tail measures 52" or 132cm from top to tip of tail.

Excluding the tail, it is 38" or 96cm long.

The waist circumference is 47" or 119.5cm 

The recipient is 6 year old but I wanted it to be big and cosy for her

(I can just fit in this one)

I've got two more to make, these ones a bit smaller though!

Yarn Haul

My LCS (local craft store) Spotlight has a pretty disappointing 

range of yarn on offer and nothing really suitable for the knit beanies

I've been making, other than Lionbrand Heartland (which is imported anyway).

So, I've taken to buying yarn from www.loveknitting.com.

The postage is extremely reasonable and the variety on offer is awesome!

In this yarn haul (my second from love knitting)

there is:
