Well, Shark Week 2020 has set sail without me. We don’t have cable, and the season is not for sale on Amazon, which is how we have watched it the last several years. Apparently it is available on several streaming services, but none that were practical for us to access. But that is OK! We decided to watch some shows from seasons past from Amazon, and settled in for some sharky fun of our own!
Also, I started my Shark Mitts from Jimmy Beans. They could have picked higher contrast yarns for the kit, but on the other hand, real sharks blend in with the murky deeps they swim in, so I guess fair enough 🙂
Got any wacky fun you are looking forward to in the near future?
Quite A Yarn 
Cute mitts pattern! I think the sharks would rather be a bit camouflaged so they can be a surprise when spotted.
Unfortunately I have seen sharks in our local news this summer. The result was very bad.

Oh no! Sorry to hear that!
It is a cute pattern 🙂 Nice that they are changing things up a bit – they usually do socks.

We LoVE shark week here. FIreman is very afraid of Sharks. We have been to the ocean many times, but I’ve never worried about sharks. Even in the Outer Banks I was not worried one bit. Odd, usually Im the worrier.
I love your socks. I’m kntiting socks too. I spend a stormy afternoon here, rearranging my yarn stash. That is always fun! for me.

Happy Shark Week! They are pretty scary, but hard to focus on when you are at the beach 🙂
Thank you! It is always fun to rearrange the stash a bit – enjoy!

Yes, then probably better to not focus on the sharks right now!

I forgot it is Shark Week! Since I’ve never watched it before it will all be new to me. I think Bob found some old episodes on Hulu. I like how the mitt colors read pattern but don’t scream shark. Like jacquard fabric. The sharks are a surprise!

What a fun pattern! I love the little sharks on there. Maybe next time the base yarn could be red instead of the teal, haha!

Do you think that pattern would work on socks? I think it’s pretty cute!

Yes, I think it would work out fine – it would take a little math to space the figures out evenly, but I think it could be done pretty easily! It is cute 🙂

Those are looking great. I really like the colors, but agree there could me more contrast. I think you should make shark socks with that pattern next.

Just went to the video – wow! That is very sweet of her to help those sharks, but I really hope it doesn’t make people think it’s generally a good idea to go petting sharks.

Indeed. She’s wearing chain mail and these are reef sharks I see in the comments.

I knew they had to be some of the less aggressive ones in general. I would totally love to pet a shark, but I like my hands too much to chance it 🙂
