Once upon a time, or several years ago, I crocheted my very first afghan. It's kind of lopsided, but it was fun to do and at least the yarn is pretty even if the finished product would never win any prizes.

Many years later, on the previous Thanksgiving weekend I decided to start on another afghan. I fear that this one is going to wind up looking a little lopsided too. *sigh* But crocheting is a pleasant way to pass the time while watching television. And it makes me feel like I'm being semi-creative. It's actually a little bit addictive for me once I get started.

I need to get a life.

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 :)
