Does anyone know where to locate a copy of Knitter's Magazine (Summer 1998)? I'd like to try my hand at the fish blanket pattern, but am having no luck finding the magazine. Any suggestions? Thanks!

It is no longer available .
The knitters on Knitty Forum & Craftster were looking for it & one person saw it on eBay but it was expensive .
I have a copy of this magazine .

This sounds intriguing... is it a fish shape, or does it have fish knitted through it?

If I remember correctly, it's this one . I tried to work out the pattern on my own a month or two, but didn't stick with it

There's not much difference between the two...except, I believe the orginal fish has a bobble for an eye.

It is a fish shaped module .

Here's the link for the instructions for the fish afghan.

Thank you! I'm afraid I was, um, somewhat...off...in the pattern I was trying to create, so I'm glad to have the real one to work from.

Very cute!

and a very good way to use up some of the funky colors I have been given!

Thanks,

Linda

I have this pattern in the original form .

How does one join the fish once they are knitted?

By using overcast seaming

Here is modified version of the fish blanket. This knitter connected the fish together by crochet. The photos of the blanket are on the first link and the tips for putting them together are on the second link.

A belated thank you for your help and answers! I have lots of wool bits wanting to become a fish blanket.
