New Baby Dress in Progress

I usually work on three-four crochet projects at a time, so that when I get bored with one, I can switch to working on another.

One of my current projects is a lace baby dress. And oh boy, I have unraveled and started over so many times. But finally it begins to look what I want it to look like :)

The yarn I'm working with is Woolike by Loops &Threads (85% acrylic 15% nylon). It's category one yarn. The color is ivory. 

Since it's a super fine yarn, the work is progressing slowly, even when I don't do unraveling. The stitches are small and completing even one round takes some time. So having other crochet projects on hand is nice.

But this dress is coming out very soft and light in texture. There is still a long way to go before it will be finished, but I cannot wait to see how it will turn out. I plan to add more lace to the shoulders and to the collar. 

What crochet project are you working on right now? And how many projects do you have started at the same time? 

New Pineapple Skirt in Progress

Back in September I made myself a purple pineapple skirt, and now I finally started working on another one.

This time I’m taking detailed notes along the way, so that I can write the pattern. Even though I’m using the pineapple stitch for this skirt as well, the design of this skirt will be different.

I chose bright red color, which I belive will look great with white or black.

I’m using Bernat Handicrafter crochet acrylic thread that I bought online from Joann. I purchased a ball of 1,746 yards, which should be enough for my skirt. Joann has a great selection of colors, and I actually bought three additional balls of this thread in pink, linen, and robust red. I am quite stocked up for the future projects!

I’ve completed 12 rounds so far, but the “pineapples” are not showing yet.

This is my second attempt. I had made about a fourth of the skirt but had to unravel it all because it wasn’t coming out the way I wanted it. But it seems much better now.

I’m very excited about this project and I can’t wait to finish it. I think it will turn out even better than the purple one.
