TanjaAbout three years ago I took on the adventure "Elf Coat". It was my first Tunisian Crochet Project and what a learning it has been. The pattern and the resources available from the designer are wonderful and I learned so much from her! The following observations are related to my specific project alone. <br>
<br>
- Don't use acrylic yarn for a garment. The static when peeling this coat off is unreal. <br>
- Don't forget gravity: I'm plus size = more yarn = heavier garment = the whole thing stretches when worn. I wanted it to be at my knees, it grew down to my shins. <br>
- Did I mention the static? Seriously, I think that surprised me the most. <br>
- Tunisian Crochet is not my cup of tea. But I'm happy I tried it out. <br>
- Making a garment as a plus size person sucks, unless the garment was specifically designed for plus size. <br>
