A first for me :)

I am so excited... I have finally finished making my first item of crocheted clothing!


Yah! Okay, so loads of talented peeps do this every day and mine is the most basic of
basic patterns... it's just a square of bobble stitch, with a bit of track stitch for relief
but I'm so happy :) I have a vest thing to wear and it's still winter!


The family have already commented on its shortness... so if you too are wondering at 
this new midriff trend for me, fear not! it's meant to be a vest... and yes, I promise I will 
always wear it with a t-shirt or dress underneath! ;)


Thanks to Kate for unknowingly reminding me that this was sitting unfinished in a bag 
from last winter :) I've always wanted to crochet clothing but have seen it in my mind 
as this massive hurdle... Have you crocheted or knitted clothing? Was it a big
challenge in your mind too?

UPDATE: Oops! Just remembered I did crochet a skirt last year... Okay, so second 
piece of crochet clothing :)

  5. Kylie - this must have taken ages!! That stitch takes a while(is it the same as popcorn stitch?)!
    I love it!! I found a site ages ago with clothing made with this stitch, i can't remember what it was called tho!
    You are so clever!!!!XJ

  7. You ARE good in what you do, Kylie!!! You have the opposite and like to make clothes, I just don't like to. But again, what you create looks beautiful!
