Date Completed: April 15, 2009

Gifted to: Baby Stinson

Notes: Although making the fish was incredibly tedious, I did enjoy this project in the end, and the final product really makes all the effort worth it. In fact. I will most likely be making myself a throw-sized version of this in nicer, adult-friendly yarn later this year.
