Well ........

This is the reason for the 'new' type of join which I've called the double continuous thread join and which can be found here

Months and months ago (yes, I'm a BAD grandma!) one of my grandkids asked me to make him a shark!!!  I thought and thought about this but couldn't get my teeth into it (very bad pun time) until I was sitting in Cincinnati one day and decided to do what I do best 'take a run at it' with shuttles loaded and brain cell 3 rested and ready!!!!

I'm really pleased with the teeth - aren't they fearsome?  The name of this pattern?  Nathan's Shark!!!

I hope to get this onto the pattern page over the next few days.  I'll let you know when it's ready.  



It's hard to think of 'boy' things to design and I reckon Nathan's idea could be one which will appeal to little boys.  

Further suggestions always welcome.

  1. Jane, your ( I mean Nathan's ) shark is very well done!
    It's really "sharky".

  5. I think this is one nice and lacy shark. Hmmm, is it really necessary for a shark to look ferocious? I don't think so. I like it.

  7. My shark-lovin' son has already begged for me to make him one!

    I am in the process of making him a dragon and he threw it over in favor of your (Nathan's) new shark!

    I can't think of a higher compliment than that of an excited 4 y.o. boy. Well done!
