First Garter

[atherleisure]

I finished knitting my first 17th century garter. The stitches look a lot more even after I stretched and steamed it. I will still need to do the tassels and yarn-wrapped beads, but I'm going to knit the second garter first.



Here's the inspiration piece again.


I weighed the ball of yarn after I started the second one, and it looks like I have 21g or 22g left out of a 50g ball so I will have to buy more yarn to finish the project. Ah well.

Wow! It's amazing. And the pattern is so clear. It really does look just like the originals, only new with colours that haven't faded.

Thank you! Blocking makes everything look better, doesn't it?
