pintail whale
I know a Pintail is really a type of duck, or a kayak, but I just liked the name Pintail Whale, the way it was so appropriate, and rolled so easily off the tongue...
... so here is my creation for the March/April Pincushion Challenge. The Sea was the theme, and this little guy is knitted with US size 3 double pointed needles (no reason they have to be double points, I just like the length of them, especially for a small little project like this) from 100% cotton fingering weight yarn, Paton's Bumble Bee in Morning Glory (fancy name for light blue). He measures about 3" from the tip of his nose down to his flippy little tail. I found the pattern on the Knitted Toy Box, a gem of a site. So now you can go knit up one of your own!
Brilliant! Love his pin-spray.

That is so cute! The kids would confiscate him and I would never get to use him as a pincushion!!!
