The Shawl I Never Made

I have an old-fashioned chairback thingy pattern. It's meant to be like a half doily that you placed on the back of a chair. I don't think people do that anymore. Anyway, I read that it can be made in regular yarn instead of thread and it would be shawl sized, and it would only take a Pound of Love. I looked through my stash and found a Pound of Love -- I just had to try it! And off I went to work on my shawl.

After two days of following the pattern, I ran out of yarn! I guess I crochet too losely? Or maybe my Pound of Love was short a few yards? Either way, I didn't have enough to finish my shawl. So what was I supposed to do? I ripped it. Completely. It's gone.

Good thing I took some pictures because now I can at least look back at the shawl I never made. Ah well, someday....

The actual color was more blue than it appears on screen, very pretty.
