Three Fish Done
I added the cap to the middle jellyfish! That means I've got three done, yay! It looks like I won't finish this here, but I'll get it done in Texas. Who knows? I might even get it done here after all the packing's done and there's not much to do for a week.

Still Working on the Bell
I'm still working on the bell for the second jellyfish. It's truly difficult to count on the gauze because of the two layers of net it's sandwiched between. On the other hand, I did get quite a bit done this last time.

A Bell
This week I've been stitching on the cap for the second from the left jellyfish. It's on 40 count silk gauze and takes forever to show progress.

Red Tentacles
Sometimes I think a designer puts stuff in to teach a new technique. I ran into that very thing with this on my last stitching session. There are two kinds of tentacles on the second jellyfish from the left. The first is whipped outline stitch, and the second is couched wire. The wire was superfluous, I believe. It was a pain to work with and did not add much dimensionality at all. Anyway, it's done now! On to working on the next jellyfish for a bit.

All Waved Out
I'm finished with the waves. Now I can concentrate on finishing off the jellyfish. The far left one is the only one complete.

Waving Away
I am now off the jellyfish for the moment and working on the background. It feels good to be doing something new with this!

Tentacles in Place
Back to the jellies! I finished off the tentacles on the fifth, so now I get to start something new on it next time I pick it up.

Still Tentacling the Fifth
Still working on the fifth jellyfish, and it's about to be put on hold until after the new year, along with most of my regular stuff. Got too many gifts to make!

Legging the Fifth
I am still working on the fifth jellyfish. There's a lot of work to do on the tentacles downward. Lots of color changes, too.

Starting the Fifth
Finished the first layer of jellyfish number four and started number five. I do feel like I'm making progress, but it's hard to see the design coming together at this point. I really don't like the way the directions are written. You have to consult at least three pages for every area, and spreading so many pages around - which are not in order, either, makes it very hard in a cramped to begin with work area.

Lots of Work, Little to Show
Well, I did spend some time on this part this week. It's a lot of teeny tiny stitches, so it doesn't look like a lot of progress. I think it's more work done, though, and there are other places where there's not much for a lot of visible punch.

Eye of the Jelly
The fourth jellyfish has a lot of work in the bottom of the bell. Right now, it looks like an eye. It's at least getting done!

Started on the Fourth
Real progress, in that I've started working on the fourth of five jellyfish. The third one, as far as I can tell, is totally done. The first one is, too, which leaves two for more work later. No idea on if I'll get done in one pass on the fourth, but it's started.

Tentacles Down
This week, I finished all the stitching on the tentacles of the third jellyfish. I have one more step for this jellyfish, which should go quickly, and then I get to start a new one!

Tentacling On
This week, I worked on the massive tentacles for the third jellyfish. I should have that done the next time I work on it.

Adding Some Fringe
I added some fringe to the bottom of the bell of the third jellyfish. Now I need to do the stitching for the tentacles. I started the first one, but there are four or five of them.

The Underside
I managed to get the underside of the third jellyfish finished this week. It covers nearly as much area as the top.

Toque Done
The top half of this third jellyfish looks a lot like a knitted toque now that I've got it done. I've started the underbelly and will hopefully have it finished when I get back to it next week.
