Notes

First pic is way to large I’ve made size 38 with 3mm hook
starting over again this time size 36 with 2,5 mm hook

off course The chain is twisted , though I was very careful about not to twist it, I realised it when first half of body was done, no way to frogg it again
no matter what ,I will cheat about that little twist.

July 18: I think I’m done with the bodice
Didn’t complete the nine rows of shells, nor the lacy shells on top , because I wanted a more open v neck
maybe I will do the lacy shells later on, but I’m still not sure about it. I’ve try it on and it fits , though i could have been more close fitting to the body.
Made 4 rows of single crochet 180 to make a sort of “ BOOBSband” to be sure to hide them well.

YOHO: on my way to the skirt !
Finnished the first diamond pattern, it was clear, fun and easy to make

July 19: goal of the day is to finnish pineapple pattern

July 21: ( pic 4& 5) OH no ! I was on my way to second diamond pattern , then realised far to late, that something is terribly WRONG, I havn’t the design I’m supposed to have, design I have has his own logic but looks weird
that means I will have to frog entire rows !
I’m wondering where did the thing went wrong ?
maybe frogging 4 rows , which is already sad, but perhaps 8 rows ! which will be devastating !

second thing that worries me is that the dress has become very large while doing piineapple pattern,
I won’t have nice hip shapings

July 22: back to where I was yesteday before frogging, ( ROW 36) found the mistake between row 32 and 33, i forgot to turn the work, that’s so dumb !
Something seems weird to me row 42 at the end of instructions it says: dec next 2 dc tog , I think it’s( dec next 2 dc)X2 at least that’s what my logical sense suggest me to do.
July 24: finnished second diamond pattern
let’s go for the scallops, 20 more rows to go
July 30: finnished ! it fits , I love it and I say yes to the dress :)
My dress was just finnished in time for the blue moon
(which is rare and occasional, it’s when 2 full moons take place in the same month)
