Wanting To Make An Outfit Part 1: The Idea

 Man, how I really need to get back to blogging...  But enough about my outermost thoughts.

As a crocheter, I've never actually sat down and made clothes for myself.  I mean, I've made my own accessories and have stitched up clothes for other people, but I've never made an outfit for myself.  Time constraints, obligations and other things have kept me from getting to it.

For example, I wanted to design a hooded vest and skirt set.  For reference, I have the book Crochet Squared by Marsha Polk to use as a guide for making the vest (I always liked "tweaking" different patterns).  The skirt I'd make off the dome.  I wanted to sport a monochrome color scheme, so I opted for two pounds of grey yarn (glad I had those Joann coupons on deck) with some black mixed in.

For now, I'll start off with the vest since it'll be quicker.  Can't wait to see how that turns out...

Yep, to be continued until the next time I dust off this blog...  (Smile)
