The one with no animal in the photo was for Sarah. Finished the eyes on the car trip up to orangeville to visit, so animal photos didn’t work. Previous one on Kahlua was for a friend with depression. And one of those in the group of 6 also went to a friend with depression. Because blowfishes are for when life blows?

Made a little noro aurora pirate fish for Leah. The 5 remaining noro sock blowfishes went to Laurie, and 2 each to Zyrus and Hitomi. Think I’m going to have to get more noro for blowfishes.

Silk garden sock, colour s301. Got 8 blowfishes out of one skein, with about 7g of yarn left. One of those was a bit hacked togther because of a knot in the middle. Haven’t tucked in some of the ends because I was thinking about adding magnets. Gave the 2 with the green lips to M&B as a get well present. I’m really really liking Noro for blowfishes!

3 more Noro aurora blowfishes, posing with an earlier one. One skein makes 3 with a tiny bit left over. Sadly, my very last skein in this colour of this discontinued yarn.

19dec2015

A noro kureyon blowfish. No idea what the colour way is. 1 skein makes 1 blowfish and 2 slugs.

Another Noro Aurora blowfish. I love the blowfishes in this yarn! This is extra awesome because I bought magnets for the mouth. Yay magnets!

Another ridiculous blowfish in Noro Aurora. This time I got the fins to match. This one may go to god children. Previous one went to Rob K for making my life unecessarily complicated with chromium.

Saw a couple of gradient blowfishes and decided I want to make one. From the left overs of my noro aurora clapotis.

finished this just in time for guild adjudicated show. 100% vicuna, with silk eye whites and qiviut eyeballs. made on 2.0mm needles. has an inexpensive eye piercing and jump ring for an inexpensive necklace :).

skipped rounds 6,7, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 for shorter tail and body. skipped short rows 5,6 and 21,22 for shorter fin.

ok, I guess not all the blowfish is angry. the green cashmere one isn’t. wore it to the woodstock festival, and sold a few patterns there. have also worn it a few times since, and I get compliments on it. need a better chain though, because this one gives me a rash.

18oct2013
green cashmere fish from the never ending leftovers that started with this project. I made the tail 1 repeat longer, which I’m not as keen on, and the body a bit shorter by doing 1 plain row instead of 2 between spike rows, so its a bit shorter. also made the fins a bit shorter.
