Ugh. I've attempted learning how to crochet for the last, I don't know, 12 years? And the most impressive thing I've been able to produce was a lumpy beanie for my Liv dolls. I absolutely love when people knit and crochet stuff for dolls, especially things that I know I could never produce in a zillion years. Definitely worth spending money on, in my opinion.
Beautiful sweater, btw! I love the shade of purple, its perfect for Winter!
