A Crochet Throw...

Now the weather is getting a little cooler in the evenings I decided to start another throw...something a bit mindless that I can occupy my hands with during the evening hours...
I HATE and am RUBBISH at anything that needs piecing together, so a one piece trow, whether knitted or crocheted is perfect for me. 
For this project I am using acrylic yarn, not a yarn I have ever used before...I am a natural yarn snob as it happens but the budget doesn't always stretch quite as far as I would like...so acrylic it is.
​I found this one at Spotlight and while it wasn't the cheapest yarn on offer, it felt quite acceptable, soft and nicely springy and with a reasonable choice of colour...I picked this neutral silvery grey. 

I must say, even though I have a natural aversion to acrylic yarns, this one is crocheting up quite nicely....I am about to start my third 100 gm ball

This pattern is just two simple rows worked from the centre out...one row is a treble shell pattern and the second is a framework of chains and trebles...

I think I will edge the throw with a double or treble row of shells, but I am keeping my options open just yet...I have a way to go.

Tim dropped into Spotlight the next day to pick up a few more balls of this yarn to find it had been reduced by almost half the price! I need a few more balls so I hope it is still reduced...makes this project even more affordable but I do like a very large throw so will get more...and I will be keen to see how it washes when I need to clean it...

That's it for today from me,
Bye now,
