hippie skirt




Love this skirt. It's pretty heavy, tho. Took about a pound and a half of peaches n cream cotton-ecru and buttercream. It has cute little white buttons on the "yoke" (a word i had never heard until i started to crochet!). I actually got a compliment from this lady at the liquor store! She asked who made it and I said, oh me! She said that she loved it! I was so shocked that someone knew that it was handmade that i didnt even ask if she crocheted-dammit!!!! I'll need beer again eventually and then I'll go back and ask!!!

bolero



This is "Bolero" from SNB. I made it with Lilac Caron Simply Soft in about 4 days. I really like the outcome, but I think it is more of a fall piece because it's really thick. I love the pattern, it was super easy to follow.
