Almost done with the front half and will start on the back just as soon as I get more yarn, this thing will be heavy duty. I am anxious to get it done and move on to my next project in the book. After I have fun taking pics of this one of course :)
Don't you forget to visit Kirsty and take a peek around at other creative spaces. You won't be dissapointed :)

That's going to be gorgeous Amanda! I am such a fab of greys and blacks at the moment. Really looking forward to seeing the finished product.X
Looks terrific so far. I have a friend who does some knitting from those books and she says that they tend to be big because that's just how they wear them. I think she did some practicing and finally got the right needles for her so they fit the way she likes. Either way I think you're going to love it.
Love the colours, it's going to be stunning.
It looks fabulous! I can't wait to see this project finished.
Looks very neat! I am sure it will be a fabulous masterpiece of yours when it's done ..:)
Its looking great Amanda!
The owner of an ample bosom, sadly such a project is never destined to hang from my own frame. It's looking a surefire beauty and I'm wasabi-green with 'jealous'.
I am a huge fan of grey yarn too and this looks stunning. I have only used amigurumi japanese patterns and so don't know about the hook sizings but I do hope it all works out for you....
I think it is looking great - love the colours. Does you pattern book have the little crochet diagrams? Now I have learnt to read them, a whole world of Japanese crochet has opened up to me!
Determination - a great trait to have. It's looking beautiful.
Whoo, I can't say I've ever tackled a dress. That's ambitious, but I bet very satisfying when you're done. Good luck!
Its looking gorgeous!
Looks like a great project, Amanda! I love those japanese books! I bought one for mum with crochet and she said they are very easy to follow even if you don't understand the language:)

I love Japanese patterns! I'm sure this going to be terrific as it looks great so far! I love the colours!
the black and grey look so elegant together ... and your crochet is so even.
Very nice! And I agree with everyone else - such very neat stitches :)
You have such tenacity, I would have given up after the hook incident!I don't know where you get the time with a new house and babies and all. I would be exhausted. Good work. It looks great as well. xxNick
Are the knitting books in English or is it a guessing game like the sewing books?
