Current crochet project is my cosplay for lillymon from Digimon. I made the base dress without the sleeves while I figure out how the wings attach. So that means dress, wings, headpiece, gloves, boots, leaves, and maybe a leaf bag or parasol in the bright yellow sultan with green handle for the flower cannon if I have time
Yes, messy closet. I'm a messy person. It was done with doubled hobbii sultan yarn. Double crochet 5 hook all the way. I bought five sultan solid in the light pink and two of the sultan in the light to dark pick.
I used about three of the sultan solid and about one of the regular sultan. I broke down the two regular sultan by each color change to make sure the fade was proper for each end petal. Not fun. I don't want to do it again but I have to for the flower head piece.
This is the second attempt at this dress. I did not double the strands so tiny stitches. I don't know what the stitch is called that I used is like a stacked double crochet. I started it with a stitch that looked like tunisian but wasn't. It was a pain with the thin yarn. I like working with thin yarn just not that stitch for a dress. Yuck.
On the left is the midsection of the old dress and on the right was the top sleeve. I lost my tension because I was using a stitch that is hard to maintain the right tension. The right is double crochet with the same hook, I think. So I hated that.
That's the very first picture of the current dress.
I've only sewn in one string of elastic at the top currently. I'll be putting in multiple, it is cotton and crochet does stretch.
I already have the gloves done. I'll have a picture in my next update.
