This is actually a piece I made in 2005, but never got a good picture of. It's a pattern from a book I rented at the library, I think it was called So Simple Crochet or something. I originally made it for myself, but after wearing it a few times, decided it's not really my style and since my mom liked it I gave it to her. This is her modeling it by the way, it's her back but the pose made it look like it's her front! lol.
The front is like this )( because it's pretty much a round doily like thing. But i can't get a very flattering picture of the front so just imagine it

I think it took 5 days to make, I don't remember.
beautiful! i wish i could do thisss. so jealous.
