I'm not sure how many crafters out in the world actually take time to make things for themselves. I know I have trouble in this regard. I am aware of a couple other knitters/crocheters who, like myself never manage to finish anything for themselves.
So, to counter this issue I've decided to challenge myself to make a three season sweater just for me. I am using Berroco Comfort Chunky yarn in a lovely butter yellow shade.
The sweater itself is a simple affair created by crocheting one piece of fabric. Using FDC (foundation double crochet), I created a first row that was the width of my chest plus about eight-ten inches more on either side to create a poncho effect. As of right now, I am working on creating a simple boat neck opening for my head.
I do not have a written pattern; however, I am enjoying the experience of designing as I go along. It has helped me hone some skills, and develop new ones.
As I progress on this personal challenge, I will continue to give you updates. In return, I challenge you to make something for yourself!
