It felt so strange as I picked up all those balls and all those colors, counting as I went.Thirty-one. Won’t be needing them again this project.

Three are left on the afghan; a few stitches and rows and tomorrow it will be just be the Matisse Blue at the upper edge.

I worked all day to get it to where I could say that. I was on the last two fish–and then decided it needed a third one above them, right there, to balance the picture out, had to, would never have been happy with it if I didn’t so I did.

Three months’ work and I’m actually going to get this finished before the calendar flips to April.
