A lot of assembly required

The mermaid partially assembled.
Here she is dressed and ready for a face.
Here is my sea mermaid finished and ready to play with. I think she came out just lovely. She's soft and totaly poseable. If I knit any other creatures I'm going to use a smaller needle size so the finished fabric is tighter. I'm very pleased with the final outcome and look forward to working on a knitted pirate.

I also finished a beaded box. It is only 1 1/2 inches tall! It's stiffened with clear nailpolish in order to keep it's shape. I really like this box and plan to do another one soon.
