Fingal the Fair Isle Fishy Kit

Oh this has been a fun project!!

I wanted to create some little Fair Isle fish for my Summer at the Seaside Make-a-Long with different colour work options for the bodies and a fun corrugated rib tail. 

I didn't expect the design process to involve chopping the first fish up with a kitchen knife when I couldn't find my scissors but I'm pretty happy with the end result and hope you will be too!

Each kit will make 8 or more little fishies and includes:

• 2 x 20g hand dyed 100% Blue Faced Leicester 4ply mini skeins
• 1 x 20g hand dyed 100% Blue Faced Leicester 4ply mini skein
• Pure wool stuffing
• a fish lobster-clasp stitch marker
• a printed pattern booklet including multiple colour work charts for the fish bodies and step by step photo explanations for some of the techniques

Fingal and his friends are knitted on a 60cm 2.50mm circular needle with the magic loop technique and start with a seamless Turkish cast on at the nose and end with a 3 needle bind off - so there is no sewing up required!!
