Because anything worth doing is worth overdoing...

...I spent about 4 hours finishing this while watching tapes of Big Cat Diary and Antiques Roadshow (British and American versions)





I don't understand why it wants to curl so much, and it's way bigger than the book said it would be based on the number of chain stitches, even though I'm using the proper size hook and I think I'm crocheting pretty tight.

But what the heck. I did it! And it's rectangular!

it's curling because you're crochetting too tight. (my stuff curls like mad.)

hurray for rectangular! woooo!

Is there a way to uncurl it later?

I've read somewhere that you're supposed to wash it and block it.
I made my Grammy Ruth an afghan and it wanted to curl while it was still small, but as it got bigger the curling stopped.
