TGIF!!!!
I have the pleasure of being friends with some fabulous photographers. So for this FO Friday I’d like to share a super cute item I knit for a really cool photographer lady.
I LOVE making baby knits. And how cute is the princess baby in the photo! The photo was shot by my friend Renee Swanson. She is a fabulous photographer who got married this past summer. So of course for her bridal shower I just had to knit something super cool for her photography business. So I improvised my own design of a Mermaid Tail. I knit in the round using US 10 1/2 circs and Knit Picks Brava Bulky. This yarn is some of my favorite to use in kiddo projects. It’s soft, easy to work with, and washable for those occasional baby accidents. I was terribly pleased with how this project turned out! I wasn’t able to attend the shower but I know she loved it because I got the lovely photo above a few weeks later!
Renee is an super adorable professional photographer who works in Kansas and North Carolina. Check out her blog and her Facebook page!
Happy Knitting!
Could you possibly post the pattern you used for the tail? Thanks!
Can I comb through my notes this weekend and get back to you this weekend? What is your email address? Mine is atangledyarn@gmail.com if you want to message me so I don’t forget 🙂
I’ve looked high and low through all my notes and I can’t find anything on my mermaid tail. So sorry! I must have whipped it up on the fly. I remember that I used bulky yarn on size 10US 16 inch circulars. I knit a basic tube with some decreases at the bottom. And then knit flat “fins” and sewed them on. I hope this helps!
