Reprioritization
Sep. 16th, 2013 05:32 amThe most important thing to report this week is that I decided to put my 1868 dress on hold until the children's Hallowe'en costumes are finished. Trying to split time between the two was just becoming frustrating because nothing seemed like it was moving. Now I've finished one piece of five and have a dress that's starting to look like a dress. Progress has been made.
I've made good progress on my 1937 cami-knickers, which I was starting to worry wouldn't be finished until next summer. I'm about three-quarters of the way through the skirt on the first side, and I just ran out my first ball of yarn. I strongly suspect I'm going to run out of yarn. The pattern called for 5.25 oz., and I bought 6 oz. I'm going to wait until I finish knitting this side, though, before I order any more so I can see just how much more I need.
The cross-stitching progresses. I had hoped I'd finish the top left quadrant this weekend, but I've been alternating working on the background with working on the lady, and the background in that quadrant was finished last weekend so I spent half my time working outside the quadrant that is my current goal. I should finish it next weekend. Then I'll be down to something fewer than 9,000 stitches to finish the project.
