The Making of a Dolphin
I've been trying to make a crocheted dolphin, but have struggled with getting a nice body shape.
The top doll is an earlier incarnation. I didn't love the body shape, but I added the face and dorsal fin to see if it would look okay -- it didn't.
The bottom one has a much better shape and I love the tail. I haven't gotten the fins sized correctly yet, but I'm getting close!
The prototypes are usually left lying around until my cat adopts them as his toys. Sometimes he steals the ones that I'm still working on, unraveling rows of crochet. Someday I'll learn to put them away, if I ever stop thinking it's funny when he carries things around in his mouth.
