this was my first foray back into crochet after a 25 year hiatus.it was SUPPOSED to be a shawl. i was inspired by a shawl i saw online. i thought i'd quickly crochet myself something green to wear to the france/ireland game in paris last year. i didn't follow a pattern. just measured how wide i wanted it to be and decreased by one on every row. single crochet on a P hook ( i think). the yarn is lion brand homespun plantation(?) you can see that it kept getting longer & longer. i kept buying more & more yarn. needless to say, it wasn't finished quickly. so it turned out to be a slightly odd shaped throw. i stopped b4 it came to a point just to call it done. i now know the importance of checking gauge & some preplanning. decreasing by two would have probably brought it to the right length. using a larger hook would've helped too.
