I can’t help myself!  I jump from one crafty medium to another.  One minute I’m elbow deep in polymer clay when I’m suddenly blindsided–sidetracked–by a lovely piece of cotton batik.  This happens to me at the most inopportune times.

The cotton batik begins a sewing frenzy of sorts.  The cotton batik becomes a skirt.  Still obsessed with fabric and perusing JoAnn’s Fabrics, I happen upon a green and pink tie-dye that’s just what my daughter wanted!  So I make another skirt which I posted about last time. 

Now that I’m on a skirt roll, fabric swatches still flipping about in my mind’s eye, I decide a nice crochet edging would look lovely on the next skirt.  So I start poking around on internet crochet sites for some crocheted edging inspiration.

And it happened again.  Total sidetrack!  I came across a vintage cardigan pattern at Yarning With a Hook .  Ginny made her’s in red and it’s lovely.  And I just HAVE to make one too!  You can find the pattern here.

Now I’ve given myself permission to place this cardigan ahead of the skirt with crochet edge.  I’ll get back to the skirt later.

Here’s my small progress toward the cardigan.  Can you see the diamond shapes appearing?
