A Crochet Variegated Set for Me

After crocheting so many things for others, I decided it was about time I crocheted something for me.  So, I went to work, and this is were my inspiration led me.

I had a general idea in my head on how I wanted the overall look to be, but I didn't know how it was going to look until I was done.  With this project, I had gotten used up one skein of yarn, only to find out that I had made it too big.  So, I had to rip it all apart, and start from scratch.  It is never fun to do that.  However, luckily, I got the size right the second time and the rest of the set went off without a hiccup.

This set includes a top, a bra to wear underneath, a purse, and two hair accessories (snood and scrunchy) to interchange.  Personally, I think the snood is more fun and elegant looking!

I used one of the different shell stitches for the top, the diamond stitch for the purse, and single crochet for the bra.  This project took me about a week, if you don't include the initial mistake.  I made this in September of 2011.
