All the fish were knitted first, with a modular sweater in mind. After sewing some together, I decided I wasn’t happy with the lack of drape in the resulting fabric. Put them away for about a year. When I revisited them, I had a new vision. I took them apart and started crocheting them together with a selection of different textured yarns. Then I added the beads and pearls. This shawl actually used every single fish I had knitted and over all took about 2 1/2 years to finish!

The photos of this shawl are stunning but I have to say don't begin to capture how gorgeous this piece looks in person. Another fabulous creation!
iI too have seen this one in person and it is gorgeous! A lot of work, how you have time to sleep I do not know.
I'm almost speechless. One word: WOW
