Crab

I am still on the hunt for knitted sea creatures, I have start to knit a Cromer Crab but I think that I picked the wrong colour wool and fear that he is going to look really strange. 
 
I am using a pattern called Fiddler Crab by Hansi Singh.
Fiddler crabs have one claw larger than the other and I will need to replace the smaller one with a second large claw to turn it into a Cromer Crab. To make matters worse the pattern is really hard to knit, there are so many legs and you have to pick up soooo many stitches that I hope this will not be come another failed project. Wish me luck.

    I'm sure you'll do well! It's an author you're used to so I'm sure you'll be able to follow the pattern and pull it off! I sent off my jellyfish to Purls by the Sea but it got sent back as non-deliverable as no-one was there to receive it. I've emailed them and been given a different address to use though so will pass it onto you when I next see you. x
