Absolutely love how this sweater fits and looks on that gorgeous model!

As a nascent crochet enthusiast – I am in awe!!! I am sure many who are not so nascent are in awe as well!!!

Well done.

Your cardi is absolutely cute. It reminds me I really ought to relearn how to crochet one of these days.

Thank you! Actually, that's one reason I'm not planning to publish any garment patterns - I want to design clothes that really fit me, and I'd want everyone who made my designs to have a perfect fit for them too, so I'd want to make calculate-it-yourself designs like my scarf sweater (only it'd be more complicated with a proper garment). I just don't think that's what people are looking for in a pattern though: they want a complete pattern that you follow line by line, not one where you have to take your measurements and do lots of calculations before you can even start crocheting...

Yay – I’m happy to have inspired you! This reaction really tempts me to try designing and selling some garment patterns. But no, must resist, already too busy…

Thank you, Andrea! Maybe in another lifetime I’d have time to be a professional garment pattern designer, but I can’t see that happening in this one (unless I shift focus at some point in the future). At least I know I have options, if the bottom falls out of the amigurumi market

It’s gorgeous! I want to crochet myself something (I can’t knit-something about the two needles I can’t get my head around!) but I’m not confident enough yet! Maybe later this year

For wool: Have you tried Woolhogs.co.za or Skapie.co.za both seem to have a wide variety of wool and accessories. I’ve used Wollhogs and had nothing but EXCELLENT service from Maryanne.

Your cardigan turned out just lovely.

I have to admit, I haven’t crocheted myself any clothing. I really should.
