I completed my pearl and abalone Sea throw on October 7th, so it took me eleven evenings (and one trip to our dealership) to crochet it. I'd say about fifty to sixty hours total from start to finish.
This is some of my best crocheting this year as far as consistency and speed, and it's the first throw I've made with V-stitch. My throw is a half-again larger version of this free pattern; I also made mine with fewer and wider stripes.
For the throw I used six complete skeins and one partial skein of thrifted yarn (the partial did not come to me with a label.) This yarn was clean, odorless and worked up beautifully. I'm happy to keep it out of a landfill by working it up into something useful, too.
