Crochet or Knit for Clothing

img_4942I’ve recently decided that I want to try to make a few clothes by crocheting rather than sewing with a machine. My sewing machine is rather finicky with fabric thickness and although I can not complain that it is an electric machine, I am wanting to be less dependent on electricity. Using a crochet hook or a knitting needle gives me much more freedom to create something strong, natural fibered and original. I am currently working on a cotton summer dress. I am not using a pattern, to the great dismay of my mother; I just can’t help it, directions are so hard to read. So far it is turning out great, even though it is more time consuming than whipping out the sewing machine. I will post more photos soon when it is complete.
