Work in progress...

After taking a break from crocheting, and working on this for a few hours at a time, I have this to show. I'm now on the third ball (4 more to go!) Hopefully this will go faster after the sleeves are done, and crocheting will be worked in rounds from the midriff to the bottom end.

I have yet to sew the seams - shown here (below) are the back and front shoulder edges which I'm holding. These are the only seams that need to be hand-sewn...everything else is crocheted. 

Up next: sleeves to be crocheted on the armholes.
