A few weeks ago, my soon-to-be-7-year-old granddaughter said: "Grandma, do you know what I want for my birthday? I want a mermaid suit." After a pause, she added: "They probably have them at Toys R Us."
"Really?! A mermaid suit?"
But - for some reason, Grandma forgot about this little conversation - until a week before the big day. Then ... panic!!
There were no mermaid suits at our local Toys R Us. But there were patterns for knit and crocheted mermaid suits online... (However, time was running short!)
A search through my yarn stash yielded a partly-finished striped afghan and a ball of yarn that could possibly become a mermaid tail fin.
A day later, it was done...
I gave it to her a few days early...
I hope she likes being a "reading mermaid" - lying or sitting on her bed. It's definitely not for water!
I added a glittery hairbrush to go with it....
Don't mermaids sit on rocks and brush their hair?!
