Well this is my first completed double knit project for 2014. I like how her body pattern played perfectly into a dot for her belly bottom. I was inspired by a weather vane I saw in a magazine. It’s not actually much like the weather vane now, but I like how cheerful and friendly she is, plus the whimsy of a mermaid is just too fun to not do.
