so i've never been really very humble about my crocheting (though i have occasionally been humbled by yarn). but i'm really proud of how these dresses turned out! hopefully they'll fit for a long time too, the pattern's pretty forgiving, though i'm worried that i made rayna's shoulder area too small and it won't lsat for too much longer... we'll see!
these were some experiments with crocheting thread (as opposed to yarn)

| they like spinny-dresses |
 |
| rayna's turn |
 |
| so you can see the pattern a little better, for those that are interested |
 |
| my other recent past-time, doily plate mats (not really place-mats, just for the glass dinner plates :) |
 |
| and just cause i started with this one, i made this dress for a friend's baby, and i thought it turned out pretty good, it just took a little longer than i'd hoped, and it was smaller than i planned on too... go figure! |

i think i'll stick to yarn again for a while! but i am taking requests

lovely! i'm still waiting for miriam's dress to fit her :)
have you ever tried a doll? i saw a darling one made for a scout fundraising auction recently and was wishing i didn't have to compete with a determined 11-year-old for it. (she was prepared to bid 'to infinity', so of course i couldn't compete!) here is a similar doll: http://www.endearinghome.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/crochet-doll.jpg
