atherleisureThis was a good week for project progress. I finished the little witch dress except for a sash and finished the last bit of the fairy costume except for a couple of bows for trim. I started cutting out the buckram for the witch hat yesterday but found that I didn't have enough for the crown. That made the second trip to JoAnn's yesterday.
I cast off the first half of the 1937 cami-knickers. I still need to pick up the stitches along the bottom to do the garter-stitch bit there, but since I had very little yarn left in the ball I'm using, I decided to start the flap instead. The good news is that I should only need one more ball of yarn than the pattern called for. I'm glad to see this project moving along.
Finally, there's the cross-stitched lady for my husband. I'm getting pretty close. I have fewer than 4500 stitches left. Maybe he will get it by Thanksgiving, but if not then, he should have it by Christmas.
Tonight I start trying to wire a hat brim for the first time. It should be interesting.
