Fish hat is done! The end took some adjusting as it was going to be too small, but I increased and added rows. Not sure I would make another one, but this was for a friend. I ended up using some stash scraps for the tail and fins, and almost, but not quite, a full skein of Caron Simply Soft for the main part.
It also helped today that the kitty cats were more in nap mode than play mode today. yesterday was a different story and they made it hard to count.
