Adding rows to a crochet throw and two sales!

I have added more rows to my crochet throw after I decided it was too wide. I cut a piece off measuring at least 3' long and it was taking ages to do a row. The stitch is four loops in a chain stitch which will make it a thicker warmer throw. I have used up quite a bit of my spare wool and will get more as I need it also crocheting on a long chain will be easier than stitching together squares at the end.  photo image_zps9db47cd7.jpg  photo image_zps03a8709f.jpg I sold this throw and a tartan and corduroy bag in my Folksy shop January Half Price Sale this week!  photo image_zpsdbe35727.jpg

  2. I think you'd laugh if you saw my crochet. I started a class 2 weeks ago and still all fingers and thumbs. I might post a photo next week if there is an improvement

  4. Congrats on more sales! Your shop is doing really well :)
    Your row throw looks great. Do you mean you cut a side off? Can you cut a piece of crochet in half and then sew in the ends without everything coming undone? I know you can steek knitting but the idea terrifies me! Thank you for linking with Wool on Sundays :)

  5. Thank you Janine. Yes I cut off a side I'd only done five rows. I joined the lengths of wool together to secure and will weave them through at the finish. I did not know about skeeting you learn something new each time with Wool on Sundays! :)
