A Mermaid

 

I've finished my mermaid's tail (except her flippers), made her a belt, and just started her body!  The ties for her belt have to be finished, but for now I'll just let them hangShe's being made in Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light.  Her tail is in Mandala, her belt (and there will be other accessories) is in Nassau Blue, and her body is Natural - she's a sea creature and doesn't get a lot of sun.  I'm planning on making my mermaid's (she really does need a name doesn't she?) hair different from the pattern.  I love the pin curls on the pattern, but I'm thinking for this mermaid, I want long hair.  I've marked some crochet hair tutorials on Pinterest and I don't think it's going to be too hard.  She's fun to work on, but I find that I have to work on her when I'm not watching TV or likely to be spoken to because I have to do so much counting.  Also, there's the fact that I have trouble counting over four complicating things.

So, does anyone know any mermaid names other than Ariel?  She's not an Ariel, I'm pretty sure.
