A Challenge

I’ve always wanted to create a crocheted sweater or a shrug or top but never have had the confidence in my work, my ability. A good friend of mine has made several fitted garments and wears them beautifully. Between her assistance when needed, and YouTube instructionals, I’m going to challenge myself!

I thought I would practice making/inserting sleeves using American Girl doll Lindsey as a model –

You’ll see I made a “shortie” based on the pattern designed by Lisa Gentry through Yarnspirations, Bedtime for Dolls.

Oh, and I have never made socks before until Lindsey’s! Not bad for first attempt! Yes, socks are NOT just knitted, one can crochet socks!!!

Now for the challenge…

I found Hailey Bailey’s “The Tern Tunic Dress Crochet Pattern” that has really caught my eye!

I purchased this Lionbrand yarn in 2020 and it’s been sitting, waiting for the perfect project. I think I’ve found it! I hope it works out nicely!

We’ll see!
