I'm cool with mermaids. :)

Mermaids it is!

**Unofficial Craft-A-Long Announcement**

Summer is here and it has brought the heat! And this month's theme is mermaid!
Because what better way to beat the heat than swimming forever?

Gah, I totally forgot I wanted to do another piggie before the month is over. But I'm open to a new theme. Mermaids, let's see... *looks for sewing patterns*

Oh man...the real question is...do I try to haul ass and make a mermaid blanket or do I just go with the stuffed mermaid?
XD

Haul ass! *whispers in spooky voice* Doo eeet...

Haha...it is really tempting. I actually am on the decrease section. But I'm gonna need to order more yarn for it because the skeins are smaller than I thought they were for the yarn I'm using...
Plus, the amount of free time I have might possibly be changing soon-ish.

I've cast on for a mermaid tail blanket :3

Yay! Join me in the adventures of mermaid blanket making!
I mean...technically mine was started before the craft along, but hopefully I can finish it before the month is over.
XD

I could not possibly finish such a huge project in one month, but for the ambitious crafter looking for inspiration I bring some patterns.

Knit Mermaid Blanket (a good old classic if you want to be a mermaid)
Kids' Crochet Mermaid Snuggle Sack (for those who want to start small)
Kidnapped Mermaid Costume (start now and finish right in time for Halloween)
Quilled Mermaid (if all you can afford are strips of paper)
Silicone Mermaid Tail (if you can afford $1000+)
Immortal Mermaid Garden (if you always wanted a fairy garden)

I'd throw links for loom knit ones in there, but I'm lazy.
XP
And honestly, it generally takes me around 2-3 months to do just a very simple blanket (mostly because I don't work on them consistently). I mean...the one I am hoping to finish, I started at the end of May...although I did have to wait almost 2 weeks for more yarn to arrive. It's probably about 1/4 to 1/3 finished.

Wooo another thing to tell myself to do that I may never get a chance to attempt XD

You can do it,Sparx!
Get it done early so you don't forget and then you won't have to worry about it for the rest of the month!
XD

Currently frustrated with a uniturtle :(

You behave Uniturtle!
Or so help me...

I'm making a felt birthday present for someone their kids nicknames are unicorn and turtle so for their mommy's birthday I am making her a uniturtle and it's a nightmare to make it 3d

Do I need to punch it to make it behave?
