Weekly Update
May. 9th, 2022 05:39 amI've worked on three projects this week.
I'm through five repeats plus five rows of the pattern at the hem of the 1930's tunic. Only 27 rows to go to finish the body. Then I want to reknit the patterned section of one of the sleeves because I made several mistakes in it before I really got the pattern down.
Since the tunic stopped being a good blind knitting project a week or so ago, I started a new pair of 17th/18th century stockings. I had hoped to use the pattern from The Typical Tudor, but now the publication date is expected to be in October. I didn't want to wait until then to start them since I really only had the one set of yarn for plain knitting on hand. I bought it last summer when the book was supposed to be published in October 2021.
I made some progress on my 1910's evening dress. I finished the ivory layer and started the blue layer. The bodice part of the blue layer is done, and the skirt seams are sewn. After I press the seams, I'll attach it to the waistband and then let it hang before hemming. I've cut and seamed the skirt for the black net layer, but I'm going to do the hem on it before I mount it to the waistband. I can level it from the top.
