First Garter

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.
