sorry i was away for so long, hope i’ve still got some readers…! been busy and without a computer for a long while, but just got my hands on my brand new macbook – so here i am!
anyway – back to business – i finished the fish blanket quite a while back and here it [...]
there are some ladies over at the forum crafty threads ‘n’ yarns that are knitting the fish blanket from my pattern. it turns out they’re my my proof readers as well! a couple of errors were brought to my attention, so i did a little editing… and replaced the formerly posted pdf with a new one (millesfish_070908.pdf). i also [...]

i think it will be a babyblanket, and have decided to use this pattern, and not this, and maybe crocheting the fish togheter, [...]
i’m in!
