Hold on and pretend it's a plan

When I was in law school I crocheted an afghan as a stress relief thing. I kept crocheting til Christmas break when I realized it was huge. I mean, huge. Have you read/seen Like Water for Chocolate? I haven't but a friend of mine said in it, there's a blanket that surrounds a house. She said she thought of that when she saw my afghan. Mine was also uneven. I think it was because of the different tension in my crocheting (sort of a measure of how stressed I might have been at the time I was doing it *g*) I recently did one in pieces and put them together like a patchwork quilt ~ large enough for a queen sized bed but not huge huge~ for a wedding present. That was much more even :)
