OK I guess this is off topic as it is a crochet project. Is that legal? When I was a kid I used to knit and crochet Barbie clothes and my dad would take them to work and sell them. He got so many orders for them that I couldn't keep up. I saw this pattern on ebay and thought it would be a fun project. I am going to start it tomorrow.

Randy, I guess it's time for me to come out of the closet and admit. I crochet those doll clothes. I love them, I don't know why, I just do. I especially like the extremely gaudy victorian dresses.

LOL gauge: 8 ch=1" or 6

gauge: 8 ch=1" or 6 rows=1"

Not really that bad, I made alot at this gage years ago, although not nearly as elaborate. I think the most difficult part will be working with the 4mm beads, there are almost 1400 of them.

And at what ridiculously teensy-tiny gauge it that made at?
