Embroidering the spots
Using white yarn and your knitters sewing needle,
embroider a series of white marks onto the blue
part of the body in a similar pattern to the one
on the title page. The patterns on Whale sharks
are like our fingerprints, each shark is different,
so dont worry too much about getting the marks
in the right spot.
