The BEFOOORE:

Front!

Back! Ahaah, check out my rattie peeking. And Havok in the background. And WTF was on TV?

On. Couldn't get a good picture of the front. I need to wear something under it besides white.

So! I got the sweater from my aunt for my birthday like four years ago. I love the thing to death, but it was way to small. So I spent a couple hours ripping out all the stitches (it was hard work- it had nearly felted itself in some places) and crocheted it into this with a bigass needle so you could see the awesome texture of the yarn. I still have a ball of yarn left the size of a melon. I might add sleeves. What's everyone think of that?

OH. Also. That dressform? THREE DOLLARS AND NINETY NINE CENTS from Goodwill. Don't believe me?

Heck yes! Now I know how Cortez must have felt. I found the saaaame exact model selling for $149.99. It even still had its TAGS on it.
I crocheted right on it. Since the piece was so loose, I would have been loosing track constantly of my place. Also, now it fits perfectly!
