Milestones

I hit two milestones this week with needlework projects.

(1) My dress is now a dress; it's complete except for trim and draping up the skirt. I'm very satisfied with it. Now I've got the trim materials in hand so I should be able to progress as time permits.

(2) My hood now fits comfortably on my knitting needles. I've gotten through the 7" of plain knitting 220 stitches wide and cast off my hundred stitches and am working through the section where you narrow six stitches per row. I calculated that I have something like fifty rows left, and each row is shorter than the last.

I might have an event to wear my hood to also so that's always a happy thought.
