When we moved to the boat I vowed to be a serially monogamous knitter. I don’t need 25 simultaneous projects to work on at once.

IOW, work on one project to completion, then start another. The exception was, I’m allowed one project that is portable and easy enough that I can knit it while paying attention to something else. For the most part, I’ve been enormously successful in this endeavor.
For that one easy project, portable and all, I elected to start that tessellated fish blanket that I’ve been enamoured with for ages. The pattern is by April Broken and can be found on her blog Knitting Arrows. I’m titleing mine “under the sea” and am using sea colors and populating it with schools of goldfish! This blanket is being knit using fingering weight merino wool yarn. Finished size will be approx 44″x60″ comprised of a total of 330 fish! I’ve less than 60 fish left to knit, and have begun to sew together enough of the first two thirds of the blanket to have an idea of what it’ll look like.
Colors on this photo are off. I’ll get a daylight picture when it’s finished.
