Thank you for the pattern, @halokiwi . I used crochet string as I didn't have enough of the background colors in regular floss, and had to double-up on the "sky" color string to make it as thick as the shell. It wasn't a perfect match, so it's a bit inconsistent. It is the largest number of strings I've attempted so far, and I learned a lot. I hope to get more colors in the #10 Crochet string, which makes smaller knots for me, and try it again in the future 💜
