Since knitting the aquarium, I have had the idea for a goldfish mobile in my head and it had to be made. It took a while - firstly, the fish are fiddly to knit being made of fine crochet cotton and also have lots of tiny orange sequins sewn on to their bodies. Secondly, I had to search my bead stash fruitlessly for the beads I wanted and then search eBay, order and wait for them to arrive.
But we got there in the end and it is really cute. It doesn't want to be photographed though - it has taken me the best part of the afternoon endlessly trying new locations around the house and garden, various lighting sources, and the pictures are still not great. The day is overcast and using the flash bleaches the colours.
You get the idea nevertheless, and try to imagine them all 'swimming' merrily in their little shoal at each tiny waft of a breeze.
They are going into my Etsy shop today - you'd better be quick, I'm tempted to keep them!
On the needles at the moment.....at miniature stag's head mounted on a plaque. One of those things that you make up as you go along and then cannot quite believe how well it turned out when it is stuffed and sewn - definitely more by luck than judgement! Just the antlers to figure out - watch this space....
