Another weird Fishy




No, of course mrs. T. 's 13-year old son will never wear a Fish hat in public! He's a teenager, don't you know? But still he likes the hat and is proud of his mothers 'knitvention'. So yes, he would really like a fish hat of his own - to wear in the secrecy of his home (or just to have laying around). Grey and black are his colors, but it is okay that his mother added blue and white to it. And the eyes? Not dead, not groggy, but just very odd: a big and a small pupil, looking in opposite directions. "Okay son, your wish is my command!"





Tropical Fish

After blueish and greyish fishes, mrs. T was in the mood to catch a very colorfull one. This tropical fish is knitted from acrylic left overs.
This time mrs. T. crocheted the eyes instead of using pieces of felt. She is not a very skillful crocheter, so they didn't turn out very flat. No problem, these popping eyes look very funny!


Do you notice something strange about this fish? Yes, you're right, the dorsal fin is placed too much in front! After knitting 9 fishes already, mrs. T. can't blame her mistake on unexperiencedness. It's just stupid! The fin is easy to frog and to reknit, but right now mrs. T is not in the mood for frogging.
There is other knitwork to be finished, like Hallowig and Baby Chicken Viking Hat.
