Wondering if I should have used a smaller hook.

About to start the last shell section. I have 2/3 yarn left and I need 1/3 left to start the final edging section. Hoping I have enough yarn.

Dragged my feet, but it’s finished.

Added an extra section and didn’t do the finishing from pattern. Didn’t have the necessary yarn left to do the pattern so I had to improvise.
