Learning something new

So, since my last post I've learnt a more modern, yet classic technique than my usual needlebinding. I've learnt to crochet! And here I'm going to present my very first crochet project: My shawl of many colours!


This shawl started out as just me practising my crocheting with some forest green wool, then it evolved into a left-over yarn project, but I ran out of left overs so then I had to go to the shop and buy some more. Yeah, yeah, I know it doesn't qualify as left-overs when I had to buy it, but what was a girl to do?
The shawl is about 165cm (65") wide and about 100cm (39,4") long.
The yarn I've used is called Cortina and is lovely, soft superwash wool and I used a 9mm crochet needle.
