This is it folks. The last time Mermaid will come out to play on the blog until the Year End Round Up. At least this version. (I enjoyed it so much, there's always the possibility that I'll make another -- there are lots of other yummy colors, and I hear someone is doing one in Kauni).
So.... Without further ado. Here is The Lady Mermaid!
And just in case the snazzy slide show isn't working, here's the cheese-cake photo.
I had moments when I was sure Hanne had gone off the deep end. I had moments when I thought I'd gone off the deep end. But mostly, I enjoyed this knit immensely. And I love the way it looks and feels on! Since there's still a touch of chill in the air, I found that I wanted a clasp of some sort right at the mid-belly area, but that may just have been because I wanted to touch it all day.
NOW... what will I do on Mondays? Must find new KAL to play with for Monday Postings, don't you think? Any suggestions? Should I Knit With Nora even though I won't be knitting what she's knitting? Or is there something else out there that is calling my name?
Tomorrow... I'll be doing my knitterly best to be inscrutable all over town while taking Freestyle Photos of the SOCK.... What will you be doing? If you also take some FreeStyle sock photos, and send them to me (size, say, 640?), I'll do up a lovely Wish We Were In Toronto Blog Entry full of them....
There are times when your blog is slower than Ravelry. Argh.
Mermaid is cute! As you is too. And done! And pretty shawls! Oh, fix away. Make them your own.
Inara? I'll buy the descripion but not the character, hates Inara.
hates grammar right now too, evidently.

How much weight did you lose?!!!!!
Mermaid looks even better on you than I'd imagined. Slept all day yesterday -- loved your phone message. Will call tomorrow if things go according to plan...

Mermaid looks good, you look good! Way to go -- it's such a flattering sweater.
I hope you had great fun being inexplicable. I'm behind on commenting, but I READ everything!
