Meia Makes

I sewed my first skirt the other day.

From there, I decided for some reason that my next project needed to be a pink faux fur skirt for Fair. So I went to Jo-Ann's, but the only faux fur material I could find was brown, white, black, or a very dark purple. So, I decided that I should knit or crochet a skirt instead out of fluffy pink yarn! Leafing through the books at the store, I found my favorite in Stitch 'N Bitch's crochet book, The Happy Hooker:


Use really fuzzy yarn for my most complicated crochet project since high school? Why not. :)

I did have one false start. It was too big (I was using the wrong kind of yarn for the project; that's what I get when I don't make a gauge), so I turned it into a necklace instead.


And it also became a tutu for Solo. :D


This is what I've got so far. It's hard to see (it's so fuzzy!!), but its length is about a hand-width. It's going to be pink, lime green, and off-white. Wish me luck!
