Something for myself...

Just about everything I have crocheted has been made for someone else.  I hardly ever made myself anything.  Last weekend while visiting a yarn shop in Dubuque, Iowa called 'Yarn Soup' I found the perfect yarn to make my dream sweater.  The yarn I picked was a Queensland collection Savanna yarn.  And the pattern I have chosen to do is called 'Paris crochet tunic' written by Doris Chan.

I have decided to do this in a navy blue and an off white.  

So this morning I have darted my project and gotten about half way done 

I'm liking how it is turning out and can't wait to show everyone my final product!!

Almost done, just the sleeves left to do.  I will say that I haven't fully stuck to the pattern, through out it I have done little things to make it my own, but the base is the same.

Finished results:
