Sparkle Fish: last of a rare breed

Hello, it's not Sunday, but I do have a fish to show to you.  This is sparkle fish going for a swim.  She's a winter fish you know.


I pray this be the last fish mitten I ever knit.  I'm quite over the thrill of working this pattern.  I'm delighted that so many people like the pattern. It was a joy to work the first coupla.  But I'm SOOOO done with it now.  It's because the working up is fiddly and perhaps because I've made six fish all told.


Oh, sparkle fish wants her close up now.  Prima donna.

  4. I agree...actually, I think ONE single Sparklefish would be plenty for me. I'd probably never wear it as a mitten...but it would make an awful cute decoration for a kid's room. Or a stuffed toy.

  5. Really cute! And impressive stick-to-it-iveness. It does look like it would get a bit old after that many!

  6. Funny, but at knit group today, Gail was commenting on the fact that even though we love to knit we are always so glad to see the end of a project.

  9. Ah, we've now come full circle, you and I. I first visited your blog a few years ago via a link from someone who blogged on your original fish pattern. And from there I was inspired to start blogging myself.

    Those fishy mitts are still probably my favouritest knit thing ever.
