Another fishy post



For those who are regular visitors to my blog, you may remember that I've shown you a knitted fish before.

I was asked just before Christmas to knit another fish after they had seen my other woolly fish. The guy who has asked for one is a keen fisher and likes catching bass so he gave me very specific orders to make it look as much as the real thing as possible. He didn't want one of my colourful patterned ones which I can understand; it's not for everyone. 
So off I went on Google to try to find a picture of a bass to work off which you can see on my right there. I purposely didn't put all the fins on it. I thought if I did then it would look like a ridiculous frilly thing and not a fish.

I was meant to hand the fish over the day only the guy couldn't make it as he was ill. So for now, the bass is sitting on my desk amongst all my various plans and projects.
