Becoming obsessed with crocheting a coat. I am intrigued by the Seaside Coat in the upcoming issue of Interweave Crochet, but am seeing this going in more of a vintage direction. I am looking at 30's styles, but this might b a total invention on my part based upon designs of the 1910's/Paul Poiret-ish feelings. High collar, high waist, with a poufy ass (yeah, I know that's not "period" -- who cares). See "explorations" for some visuals.
