Petticoat Panel
Apr. 22nd, 2015 09:30 amWe went to Thunder Over Louisville this weekend so I got a lot of time to knit in the car. I could have knit more, but I didn't want to overwork my wrists so anytime they started to get tired I stopped. At that I finished the first panel of my 1892 knitted petticoat and started the second one. Yesterday I blocked the finished panel.
I'm pretty happy with it except that since I was trying to determine length while sitting in a car and using measurements for another petticoat pattern in the book, it's too long. It might be a good length for my sister or for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nuranar, who are much of a height, but it's ankle length on me. That doesn't seem right for a warmth layer petticoat so I'm going to knit the rest of the panels shorter and shorten the first panel.
While in Louisville, we also went to Locust Grove. It's quite nice, and the Revolutionary War Illinois Regiment was camping out for the weekend so we talked to the ladies for a bit. (I'm sure the men would have spoken with us too, but we just didn't really talk to them.) I would have loved to have dressed in costume, but I didn't know whether they would like that and also didn't really want to haul all the stuff along when we were there for such a short time anyway.
Amazon Drygoods has donated a batch of books to Locust Grove that they're selling for the benefit of something that I have completely forgotten. Anyway, I picked up a few including a book on socks and stockings. I love books.
