Half a Sleeve

[atherleisure]

I reached the halfway point on the sleeve of my 17th century waistcoat this week. I'm pretty pleased with how it's coming. It's 8.75" long now and should be about 16.5" when finished.



The floats on this thing are incredible! Not lining it is not an option.



So far I've used about 15g of pink and 18g of blue. It seems like one 50g ball of each is likely to do for the sleeve.

Wow, the contrasting colors really make it pop. Looking forward to seeing the whole thing.

Thanks. You'll have awhile to wait. This isn't going to be a fast project!

I'll admit to being a trifle concerned about my color combinations. A lot of these jackets look darker overall than mine does. The individual colors definitely existed in 17th century silks, but I don't know if the blue and pink combination was done. Still, I like it.
