Great update. I love the colors in this one. I can't see the fish yet, either, so will definitely be expecting to see him in the next update. Are you planning on stitching up the column or across the row? Since I've never started one except in the left corner, I'm not sure which way I would go.

I'm going to keep going up the columns on this page (2 and a partial left once I finish this one). The fish are all mostly the same colors as the background, so they're impossible (at least for me) to pick out of the pattern. Otherwise I would go ahead and just stitch both of the fish on this page before I finished the water (bet you didn't see the other one either did ya? )

I see the fish at the top and I think there is one at the bottom also (at least there is something swirly which doesn't quite look like water, but I'm not sure). I could cheat and go look at the picture as I don't remember it exactly, but its more fun this way.

There are three fish total. The middle one is the completed one. The head of the top one is just above the middle one with it's body going down diagonally to the right. The swirly bit at the bottom is indeed the tail of the third fish. It is fun trying to figure out what's there (or will be there ).

Nah, the other two are really hard to see. Right now, there's not much of the bottom fish and I don't think the top fish will really stand out until he has his tail (especially since the top fish is viewed from the top down so you won't get a profile of his face like on the middle one).

So, it looks like the rest of the fish will have to wait until I get to the next page over. Oh well. It'll get there eventually. Here's where I'm at now. Not long until the end of the page.
Thanks for looking!
