I wasn’t 100% sold on how the top looked after my first attempt at modifying it my way. The straight rows just didn’t really give any kind of structure or shape in the bust.
Really, it was fitting like a crocheted sports bra with ZERO curve and just smooshed everything flat. Wasn’t really giving the look I wanted.
Though, this also could’ve been due to the fact I am not part of the IBTC and my tops need a bit more to them. So it was back to the beginning!
I am debating on selling the other dress..?
This time I DID actually manage to remember to time how long it took me to do the top. And I was happily surprised that I was pretty spot on with my timing of the top for the previous dress!
Now onto the skirt!
I decided to dig into my Yarncives (see what I did there 😏) and pull out this gorgeous set I’ve had sitting around for literally YEARS since I never really knew what I wanted to do with it.
From one crocheter to another, I don’t care what anyone else says… A yarn winder AND a swift are two NECESSARY tools every person in the yarn art community should own! Do I use them all the time? Honestly, no. BUT having them on hand for times just like today is amazing.
Having a swift alone has been amazing. No more knots, and tangles trying to unravel a hank into something I can actually work from. The winder, well I honestly have a few 🫣 and will never ever go back to winding yarn by hand again.
