I found this pattern that I figured I could start with. I found about four different colors of yarn that I thought sort of matched up with the real fish. And then I went to work.
And then:
I'm really happy with how she turned out. EXCEPT that in trying to be smart I used some rice on her insides to give her some weight. Was I thinking about how if I ever had to wash her the rice would get all gross? NO. Oh well. Too late now.
The colors worked out well though, and my pattern modifications turned out great I thought.
Want to compare New Mama Fish with the original Mama Fish?
Not exactly the same, but pretty darn close.
And the verdict?
He likes her. And I like him. Good deal.

Love it! I might have to make a Mama Fish. Or at least a fish like the original pattern since I might be too lazy to make the cool bug eyes.
SO CUTE GIN! you are so very talented my dear!
You are amazing. You figured out the lips. How did you figure out the lips? Tonight, just thinking about it makes me want to go to bed.
wow! That is the cutest thing I've ever seen. Way to go!
you have got to teach me how you do that! And I mean teach me from "these are needles. this is yarn..." I'm THAT stupid.
Seriously Ginna, that has to be the cutest mama fish EVER!
I love the eyes! I'm glad you found my pattern useful. x
Clever!
On a side note, Divine had a dog filled with flax seed that I washed after some vomit contact---we got a bloated dog that had to be operated on. Did I learn? No, we filled him with wheat...
Very good job Ginna. That is some pretty crafty handiwork. I am sure Max will always like that mama fish better.
I think Momma Fish 2.0 is cute, and looks pretty darn close to the original. And yikes to the snow! I knew it was coming, but still...yikes!
That is so cute Ginna. I like it better than the original. You are so crafty.
I add my voice to the chorus of mama-fish admiration. She is SO cute! Cuter than the original! HOW on earth did you do it? Wow!!
Ginna, it's so cute! You really should set up an etsy shop and sell them. Max can be your advertisement. :)
Wow! You are SOOOOO talented! I love it!
Very, very cool.
Can I please get the pattern directions to the lips and eyes for this fish I love how you changed it by adding them . Adorable!
That is amazing, well done!
And I love her too! Excellent. I'm looking forward to checking your blog often.
Timeless, eh? And fun to get kind comments. What happened to all those people who USED to come around and comment? I'd forgotten about them -
Any chance you can post how you did the lips and bug eyes? Love this fish!
I love your momma fish. Can you post how you did the eyes and lips???
