At the end of March, middle nephew told me what he wanted for his birthday. Naturally, he wanted what eldest nephew got, but with a slight modification. He wanted Godzilla on a beanie.
Back to the internet...
I found one. Only one. And it was way too big to fit on a beanie. Naturally.
So, I sat down and shrank it...
And this week I finally sat down to knit it...
And I've already gathered the rats' nest of yarn...
Which is only going to get worse before it gets better. Deep sigh.
I've got almost two weeks to finish this. Think I'll make it?
And, of course, someone else ordered a jellyfish. In pink...
It's almost done. It just needs a face and stuffing. After it's gone through the wash.
Time to get cracking.
If I were to make you a jellyfish, what color would you want? If I were to make you a Geeky Beanie, what character would you want on it?
Today's A to Z Challenge post brought to you by the letter...
At least you've made the jelly fish a million and a half times now. That probably came together quickly.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the beanie. Can't wait to see how it looks! You always do a great job. :)
Thanks. Yeah, the jellyfish has become quite the go to project.
DeleteHi Liz - turquoise blue for the jelly fish - the geek - no idea! However Godzilla - good luck with him... you'll win out I'm sure ... cheers Hilary

I like the pink jellyfish. Good luck with the hat project!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteI bet you will get the beanie done in time! It will look cute too!
ReplyDeletebetty
You're so talented. Jealous! I'd want my beanie to be orange with a geeky cat on it - any cat!
ReplyDeleteThat's Purrfect
I would want a teal/purple jellyfish and a beanie with Serenity on it! That would be DOPE! 😘
ReplyDeleteHow cool is to let your Nephew pick something for you to make. Coffee is on
ReplyDeleteI've decided I will no longer try to figure out what they may want. If I'm going to take the time to knit something, it'd better be something they'll enjoy.
DeleteThey never forget:) I am catching up...or at least trying to. I think your beanie will come out great and he will love it. The jellyfish is always cute. if I had a jelly fish, it would have to be a rich blue and a rich purple
ReplyDeleteNice color combo.
DeleteThe geeky beanie would have to have a woodpecker in bright red yarn.
ReplyDeleteI had not considered a woodpecker. That would be interesting.
DeleteI can't wait to see the finished Godzilla beanie!!! And hmm I do love your jellyfish. I'll order one someday
ReplyDeleteSure. The jellyfish seem to remain popular.
DeleteI love your jellyfish, they're so cute. I think I would want to go for a purple one with green tentacles.
ReplyDeleteThe beanie hat will look fantastic when it's done.
That's an interesting combo.
DeleteIt looks like it could be a flying frisbee or a UFO like the sort you see on the syfy channel. LOL
ReplyDeleteThose jellyfish are cute. I also really like your nephew's taste in designs. He's lucky that you're willing to go through all that trouble. I hope you share when it's finished.
ReplyDeleteIts your nephew and you will get it done!! Can't wait to see it. Loving the jellyfish. The turtles came out when my son was young. We had the movies on VHS. Then it seemed to have calmed down and BAM it was back. I could not believe that they made a come back in toys and everything. Follow me on PINTEREST - Pam Montgomery Jackson
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how many things are coming back after being not so popular for a while.
DeleteI have several afghans my grandmother crocheted for me, and I treasure every one. I think I would like a deep green beanie, with a bright yellow sunflower!
ReplyDeleteOooh, sunflower...
DeleteI'd go for neon green and variegated bright blue.
ReplyDeleteFor the beanie? Maybe a plaid? Or a PacMan, green on black.
I've seen a Pac Man pattern, so that's totally doable.
DeleteAmazing is it not? The way we will jump through hoops for the children in our lives. I want my jellyfish in blue. On my beanie I want a Pegasus.

That's so fun you let them pick their gift theme. I think I'd want a purple jellyfish. Or bright hot pink :D Maybe both. lol
ReplyDeleteI'd want each tentacle of the jellyfish to be a different color. I'd want a black cat on my beanie to match my furry baby.
ReplyDeleteOh, that would be an interesting look.
DeleteI think they'll both look great. Good luck. The Thundercats logo would look good on a beanie.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you would create something nice
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteI think you can do it and I can't wait to see pics!
ReplyDeleteI hope so. I've been way lazy this week.
