I have finished Little Miss F’s mermaid’s tail. TADAH!
And up close
The wavy pattern and elasticated top
Middle section with pink seahorse by Wild Daffodil.
Thanks Sandra.
And the flippers which proved to be a real struggle to sew in nicely. Anyway all done. To be delivered next week. Pattern is Sirdar 4708 and the yarn used is Sirdar Snuggly shade 0470
So now on the needles for a new little one due in the Autumn.
Is a first size matinée jacket, in yarn I just so happened to have squirreled away.
Book is from the heap by the bed, and was given to me by my son as a “Thank you for having me to stay whilst I go to a football match Up North!” As if I needed any thanks for a visit from a son.
Anyway the book is shaping up nicely. The American dream gone wrong I think, but ’tis early days.

Wonderful! She will be pleased. And I like the addition of the seahorse.
Thank you. She was pleased, I have photo for tomorrow.
what a pretty tail 🙂
Thanks, hard work but worth it.
Wow! I love how it turned out. It’s just beautiful. And I love the addition of the seahorse. I too have a seahorse from Sandra that I am planning to add to my current project. I hope mine turns out as good as yours. 🙂
Oh I look forward to seeing that.
The mermaid tail is fabulous!!! Miss F is going to love it:) You must be thrilled.
I was pretty pleased with how it turned out, thank you.
Very cute! I like the seahorse.
Thanks, it makes it unique!
really lovely, Miss F will be thrilled to bits!
Thank you, pleased to say she was!
Adorable!! You get the award for lasting it out!!
Thanks, it wasn’t as hard as that cable cardigan!
Ooh, that little seahorse is adorable!
Isn’t she just. I swapped a tinsel owl for her.
I love this!!! Beautiful xxx
Thanks Kirsty, I can your babe in one too!
Agreed!! Might need the pattern 🙂 i also have a tail pattern from a magazine. When she’s a little bigger she’d love this!
Update: found pattern in hobbycraft today… so its now officially on the to knit list for the year!!
Totally brilliant news!
A fab finish for Miss F! I love the texture of your new project. It reminds me of jello fluff!
The yarn is very textured and rather attractive I think.
Well done for your persistence – it turned out beautifully.
Thank you, it was not going to defeat me.
That’s great! You must be glad to have it done–I’d love to see a photo of the little girl wearing it!
Stand by for one shortly!
I do love this mermaid tail – hope she has many happy hours wearing it 🙂
I understand she has!
Fabulous! Well done you. Looks absolutely gorgeous. Little Miss F will love it.
Thank you
What a wonderful gift for the imagination – and warm, too!
Thanks, it was cosy to sew up!
Brilliant, what a gorgeous colour!
Thanks, shouts sea that colour.
Well done for persevering – she’ll love it!
Thanks
How did I miss this post!!!! Life has been a bit hectic around here recently. The seahorse looks great on your amazing mermaid’s tail.
Did I tell you that Little Miss M fell in love with Ollie – I think the feeling is mutual, so Ollie flew across the fields and now lives in a cosy log cabin on the farm. Little Miss M and Ollie snuggle up together every night and I often find the owl arranged with other toys and a glitter ball having a disco! She is much loved!
That is lovely news!
