I finished the skirt back over the weekend and was holding it up to me, visually measuring the length to figure out how much I would need for the top.

Quickly realised the length of the skirt front and back was enough that it doesn’t need anything more than to be attached to each other.

It might not be obvious that I crocheted the back much wider than the front from this picture.
I’m slowly putting stitch markers in the places it will be put together.
Also, as it is now, I haven’t used all the yarn I bought. Still have three unused balls and two in various stages of usage.

Nothing else was done as the back took a lot of time.
Not sure if relevant but my book and magazine pile has also been growing along with the project pile.
