every time I try to figure out my crochet Molly coat it gets more complicated
found a square motif I liked, but the coat it makes is 14 inches too big on me
found a new coat construction that I could use that in.
it’s worked in thread held double. At first I was gonna use it as a stash buster for some dark pink I have 7 skeins of (5 bucks goodwill)
Then I held it with some maroon
now only the bottom third is held double pink and I need 4 more skeins of maroon
I am now gonna add a small blue-green triangle shawl as a reference to animated
Waiting to sketch out the “embroidery” until after the construction
(Also edit to previous: the “thread held double” is red heart super saver)
My wonderful boyfriend bought me yarn in the wrong color for this, so not the top half will be the maroon held with the red instead of maroon doubled.
also reworked the sleeve joins and got a fancy little rolling cart to hold projects
done with the full squares in pink, started on the half squares in pink
need to rework the sleeves because I tried the novel idea of bending my shoulders down and the fabric bunched weird and uncomfortably in the armpit
also need to find a join that will highlight the diamonds between the back panels, they are very cute
