Great job! A nice trick to hosomaki (seaweed on outside like this) is to leave a strip of the nori united towards the top so when you roll it up so you don’t get that nori overlap and it makes it a little easier to cut too

For about two years my roommate and I loved our spiffy little place mats. It was so great how nicely the rolled up and tucked away.
One day I had a girl over and she noticed my roommate using our “place mats”. She commented to me quietly later “does he know that’s for rolling Sushi?”
My jaw dropped I laughed it off “oh his silly like sometimes” I nearly died of embarrassment. He got a good laugh out of it later when I told him.
