I'm proud of the Jellyfish purse because of the method I developed for covering a used CD with crochet, after much trial and error. The rainbow metallic look of a
CD surface combined with Jelly Yarn gives the crochet a 21st century look that is irresistible to me! It's also very durable--I use the prototype often and it shows no wear.
It was inspired by my son who loves jellyfish; Spongebob has something to do with it. (pictured at right is one of my son's electric jellyfish)![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgesYBKmd_vgjXT8VW37d-SS8NNubXMwRRF53z7ls79NcNAnUo-DacRG6m4hoIvNnjp7I9KHcCxhhfBASZkk3azEwSBFnHBjjW5heOOa7kY8j1IYdq-MQRyhcyg9PGDhQs2-H1jrg/s200-rw/J+Jellyfish.jpg)

The book is chock-full of step-by-step photos and tips for every project, as I've come to expect from Kathleen Greco's books. In fact, as a designer I felt creatively freed by this because I knew that Kathleen would make sure that young readers could understand and enjoy each pattern from beginning to end.
Kathleen's snow globe project is a must-see!

I'm off to post a bit more on jelly over at my kid blog.
