This was a few rows ago. The sides are actually straight, the colors are brighter.
But at long, long last I stopped second-guessing myself and finished the first dolphin.
The chart I was working from was presented in squares. Knitting is rectangular. But there was a knitted scarf on Ravelry from that chart and it seemed good, so I went with it, and now I’m thinking I should have trusted my own eyeballing and added another row to the height of the body.
Quibbles, quibbles.
Basically, I’m thinking it looks longer than it should and that that makes it vaguely shark-like. And it’s so gray, and gray would so dominate if I made a pod of them.
Which means twenty more inches of googling fish pictures.
A month ago, a diving enthusiast friend was naming the fish species in delight as I held up the afghan–the very highest praise I could ever have hoped for. I aspire to keep whatever the next ones may be, real, too.
If you have any favorites let me know because I’m just guessing my way around here.

I think the jellyfish is my favorite … or the turtle … or the dolphin!

I would have no idea what to choose for the next one. But you will find the right ones.
