Continued working the last week and now am in the 2015 rows

Luckily the new skeins of Lapis and Sunshine match the ones I used before.
I do have to add the apricot surface sc for May2014, to mark the birth month of V.

01-11-2020

Years are now separated with white. First 2 x in sc, after that changed to dc.
Will gave to make sure to do last 2 white rows in sc again

Decided to first weave in all ends until so far.
I am at r 60 now and almost finished weaving ends for both sides

4 jan 2021
Finally received the skein of spice i fell short for last 3 rows.
Finishes last 3 rows. Now just need to weave in last ends. Luckily did a lot in between
Then add the apricot stripe for may 2014, birth of Veerle
And think of an effect for10 yr marriage
Not sure if I will add a border or not

Somehow last 6 rows my tension seemed to be looser, it is 4 cm wider now at top. I think after blocking and adding border it will not show
