I started this pinafore last night in the hopes that all the counting and designing would make me sleepy (didn’t work) and then today I thought it would be a great project to work on while I am waiting on Alex when she goes into labor. It is super simple and pretty mindless crochet so I thought it would be perfect but I am almost done with it so I am going to have to find something else that I can take with me….oh yeah maybe the sunsuit that I should have finished by now which she will only get to wear until we move to Kentucky since it will be cold by the time we get there. Sigh!
This pinafore was easy to come up with and I will make the bottom half out of fabric. It is decidedly a bit wonky no doubt from my crocheting in near darkness but I don’t think it will show enough for Livie to care. Looking at it, I think making one knitted will be just as easy so maybe that will be the next one I make. I will share the pattern once I have it all done. I used Frog Tree Picoboo cotton yarn which is so soft, if feels like silk. This pinafore uses up very little yarn and since you are only making the top out of yarn, it is a super fast project. I can see it working in fall also with a pair of leggings and a long sleeved shirt underneath. Oh, I know you can’t see what I mean but I hope you will once it is finished.
No reading this week since I am supposed to be using my time to get ready for our move but while organizing my craft book shelf, I realized that I bought this book twice! It is full of the cutest baby patterns. I must really like it to have bought it again and since I think you will too, I will be giving the second one away. Won’t you come back Friday for the giveaway? I am thinking that as I pack I will discover that I have done this more than once. I am also finding that it is going to be hard for me to get rid of anything craft related. What to do? How do you deal with having to part with craft supplies?
I am off to see what the wonderful blogging mommas have come up with this week over at Ginnys.
