Seashells & posies progress

The blog has been a little quiet over the past few days – crochet is much slower than sewing!  No finished objects to show off, so here is the work in progress – the seashells and posies dress.  Skirt complete, waist trim done, working on the bodice.

It’s coming along much more quickly than I anticipated, and I’m enjoying working in the finer yarn.  I may be converted to fine hooks and 4-ply or less!  It is challenging (I’ve had to frog a few sections at times) but satisfying.  I am learning and improving all the time! 

I took my crochet along to a party on the weekend, so that I could hook as I chatted (is that a weird thing to do – it’s probably taking multi-tasking to an extreme).  There were many bemused expressions as I crocheted away happily and lots of crochet and craft related questions.  Better than talking about politics!
