the fish stock take has been done, I have 36 plain fish, and 41 multi-coloured fish, so 77 fish in total.
Regia socks, with modified widdershins heel, confession time. When Chris tried on these socks, he miffed me --- big time. This is Mr polite, holds open doors, and all that. Not a 'well done', 'wonderful', or a 'great lovely colour', or a 'you shouldn't have' but a 'they are a bit short'. Well I decided that people who were not enthusiastic about the socks I made them deserved short socks. I am now over that momentary lack of compassion - so last night I frogged the top 1.5 inches of k1p1 rib, on sock one, right back back to the top of the k2p2 rib. I now have 2 uncomplete socks, a new hobby, and fish to knit, not to mention a cabled zippie cardie to fix.
I have not picked up the live stitches, as you can see in photo, but shoved the sock in a ziploc bag for safekeeping. I will pick up stitches some time soon. I guess these were never Karma'd to match exactly, as there will be a jog in the yarn as I splice it together.

Another obessed Dunedin knitter, it doesn't get better than that! I love your blog. That fish blanket is amazing. Please, please join our very small knitting group, we would love to have you. Email me at tanifaa@hotmail.com and I will let you know all the details. At the moment Kelly and I don't have any set dates we just meet every couple of weeks randomly. We want to sort out a set date to make it easy and possible for others to join. Kelly just emailed to ask if we could get together this Wednesday night (tomorrow), would that work for you? If not we can move it to Thursday? We usually meet at 7pm for a couple of hours. Last time we met at Eureka, in the back where the sofas are and that was great. We have tried other places, any ideas are welcome. Very, very exciting, yay!
thanks tanya, we did meet up at Eureka, and with other knitters. must do again.
