After finding an easy one-row repeat pattern that I already know how to make I decided on crocheting a throw from this abalone color yarn I thrifted, and added for the project some skeins of pearl-colored soft white.
I did tweak the pattern to make it larger by adding half again as many foundation chain stitchs (222 versus 148) and continuing on with V-stitches to the end of my chain. This pattern works up very fast; this is how much I got done in two days.
Considering how stiff my fingers are after finishing up the Halloween quilt I'm really happy I can still crochet fairly easily, and it works out a lot of the pain I have from arthritis flares, too.
