Fishies!

I put Skully on the back burner because I'm almost finished and have a stressful couple of days-- today I will more than likely finish him at my in-laws, meaning Tuesday I should try to leave work early to hot foot it over to Crazy Old Faye's and get some wool, maybe I can throw together Yorick before hubby's b-day. In the meantime, I have made several of the tessellating fish (the pattern for this is no longer available, so I provided it under the cut). CO 6

From this point forward – slip the first stitch purlwise. Trust me, you'll appreciate this when its time to seam!

I have decided that this summer I will officially bust my stash by taking all of my acrylic yarns-- the Red Heart Super saver, etc. up to Maine and use only this large stash to make many, many fish, then graft into an afghan for the cabin. If it takes 6 summers to do, well, then, it takes 6 summers to do. I will have only 1 project for summer, plus fish. So if I finish my project early, it's a fish-knittin' summer for yours truly. I will be allowed to ADD to my stash from the many lovely LYS's up there but NO FISH out of good stuff unless it's scrap! So come summer, my  bamboo baskets will be looking a little lonely.

Also, I got my e-bay lot of
 


and, while it's not ArtFibers, it certainly is nice.I am making a project for ME from it. More than likely this or this. Thoughts? My only concern is that the sari yarn is not very stretchy; however, I've read in the knitting communities that Tubey ends up bigger than you expect and isn't as form fitting as the pattern would have you believe.
In any case: it's not not time for knit stew, but time for actual breakfast, so......hopefully tonight I'll have a finished but yet unseamed picture of Skully to boast!!!
