Anyway, some of the kids of my friends in Europe have kids now, and I am trying to make something for the daughter of my oldest and best friend. I followed the pattern in that new Crochet book I just got but I guess I used a thicker, heavier yarn, and my jacket looks a lot bigger. It is supposed to be for a three year old but I have no idea what the corresponding size would be.
So I put the question to my trusty fellow knitters and crocheters at Knitting Paradise and sure enough, what I have made will probably fit an 18 months' old. So now I have to find a big baby, which is no trouble at all through my volunteer work. But I may take it first to a kids' clothes department and compare it, as one of them suggested. That was a good idea, thanks.
I had never crocheted something this small and I enjoyed making this. It was quick, and easy.
To stay in the "mood" I tried one of those amigurumis with the leftover white yarn. Wow, that was a lot more work than I expected and she will be an only child, just like me. It is cute, but too much work for such a tiny thing. My husband cracked up when he saw me making doll clothes.
