The Ariel-esque mermaid tail is finished! It turned out pretty close to what her tail would probably look like with the sun shining on it through the water. It has already arrived at it's destination and the customer and the recipient of the gift are both pleased with it. It makes me happy when people are satisfied with their purchase and my work. It fuels my love for crochet.
I love this pattern and Country Loom yarn. There are a few colours I wish I could buy and have in my yarn collection, but alas, yarn is too expensive to purchase and just to have it lay around. I already have too much just sitting around, waiting for the right projects to pop up.
My husband's birthday was at the beginning of November. He said I didn't need to get him a gift, so I didn't. I made him one instead. He did not have a toque for winter so I quickly whipped one up with the yarn I had sitting around. I'm not sure how warm it is as the weather is still fairly nice for Canada in December.
I have made another a Paw Patrol hat for a mother for her son for Christmas. It took me only a couple days to make.
These slipper boots by MJ's Off the Hook Designs work up so quickly. I made a pair for a mother who had been in the hospital with her 3-month-old baby and I thought she would appreciate a bit of comfort during their stay, but by the time I finished them, she was back home. I have also made another pair as a Christmas gift for someone. I do not have a photo of the ones I have made but I will get one up as soon as possible.
I have been asked to make three more mermaid blankets and one shark blanket. The shark blanket is also written by MJ's Off the Hook Designs. I haven't made one yet, but judging from her other projects which I have tried, it should be pretty easy to follow and figure out. The mermaid tails will be purple, dark purple, and turquoise. The shark will either be grey or dark blue, depending on if I can find the right colours in the right brand of yarn.
In between commissions, I've been working on my retro circle squares for the blanket I hope to piece together. The yarn will be Loops&Threads Impeccable in colours Pumpkin and Teal with an off white border. I would like to make it large enough to fit a double size bed or a couch throw. Perhaps I'll put it up for sale when it's finished.
That's it for current projects. What are you working on?
