i would like to add my only 2 cents worth on the lace skirt, which is
all i have to give. i think it lays too flat to be crochet, but the
sixth picture down from the sitting fairie looks like it has the rows
where crochet is turned around when you reach the end and begin a new
row.
if it is crochet, the pattern was meant to immitate needle lace with
the honey comb background. also i think it looks beautiful! wish i had
a 30" waist!! lol.
