atherleisureI worked a little on all my in-progress projects this week and started a new one.
1. 1897 shawl - I'm still plugging away at the trim; I'm getting close to 50 repeats finished. I'm trying to do one repeat a day on the days I go to work and two on the days I don't.
2. Cable-knit cardigan - I started the back last week and got through almost 1.5 repeats of the cable pattern. Cables are so cool. It's really funny to be knitting something where thirty rows gives you like 3" of knitting. I've been working on a sleeve during lunch at work, and I'm more than 2/3 of the way to the beginning of the armscye shaping.
3. "A Treasured Time" cross-stitch - I finished the top left section of the pattern yesterday. Now I just have the lower left section of the pattern to do. It's the smallest section of the pattern and is something like 90 x 110 stitches. It's 85% half-cross stitch if not more so it goes way faster than my usual cross-stitching projects do.
4. 1943 coral wool tricotine dress - I started this last week and made very good progress. I have two sleeves completely made up and two collar sections made up. The back of the dress is put together and the front is put together. I partially sewed the seams that connect back to front. I figure I've got about half a dozen hours of work left to finish it.
