Working on a Custom Order

I have been having so much fun with the custom order I am currently working on for January!  Of five little outfits, I have completed four, and only one remains.  

I am really surprised with how quickly I have been crocheting them.  The first four outfits are very similar and follow the same design.  I am thinking this is the main reason that I have been crocheting them at a faster rate than anticipated.  It just goes to show how much time the designing phase really takes.  

When I am designing, I have to pause at the end of every row to write down what I have done, so that I do not forget it.  However, since those four outfits were so similar, this meant that I didn’t have to pause every few minutes to write something down.  I could just crochet away without a care in the world.  

This is such a great feeling!  It is what crochet is really about to me.  It is a great way to relax and just be.  A bonus of course, is thinking about how much the receiver is going to like her gift.  It gets me so giddy with excitement!
