A piece of crochet history

As far as I can remember, my mom taught me to crochet somewhere around the fall of 1981. That means I've known how to crochet for about 26 of my almost 33 years. Anyway, for some strange reason I still own my first ever effort at crocheting a scarf. When I realized it was narrowing, I just decided to make it a triangle. This may appear to be a hat, but let me assure you that it is simply a flat triangle. For some reason I wasn't willing to rip it out but I was willing to waste yarn by making something so useless.
