I am making a large whale for my niece and I messed up a bit I think? I "blocked" the bottom white piece because I could not get the cone from my magic ring to lay flat. I tried a few things for that and ended up doubling the stitch count in my magic ring and skipping the second round. Unfortunately now my blue top piece and bottom white piece do not match up. They both have 90 stitches and should line up. It also doesnt help that the white yarn is slightly thicker than the blue yarn.

I really liked the BLO look in the smaller plushies to color change so it had a slightly twisted border look (Last picture has that BLO border I'm thinking of, found on ribblr with creators username). I tried connecting with BLO and a slip stitch with the blue yarn into the whole white stitch, but it didn't look how I imagined. So, I tried doing a SC with the blue yarn going through the full stitches on both pieces.

So now I'm wondering if I try to reverse this- frog and do the same sc through both pieces but with the white facing me and using the white yarn to hopefully pull this curl a little bit down.

Or do I just try to stretch out the blue portion?

I also went off script by starting with the white instead of the blue. I didn't have the blue I wanted but I was impatient to start. I then realized it would be hard to do the BLO look going from white to blue, so I thought I'd just make two pieces and I try to connect them.

I am working from my grandma's house so I unfortunately don't have any more stuffing than what is already in the whale to see if stuffing it full would make it look better.

The pattern was 6 sc in MR (I adjusted to 12 sc in MR then skip the full increase round), then the usual MR pattern until I got to 90 stitches. Then sc all around until the desires length is reached. I made adjustments to the written pattern because the example photos had too much white in my opinion, so I did two less white rounds and two more blue rounds than written.

How screwed am I? 😅
