The Last Row
Feb. 9th, 2024 05:23 amI'm halfway through the last row of crochet on my 1902 vest. Unless the day goes completely haywire, I should finish the crochet part tonight. I ordered ribbon yesterday. I actually had a really good color of ribbon in the right width in the stash, but it was a china silk ribbon that I used to lace my 1860's evening gown once. That wasn't good for it. Even though I'm planning to wash this very gently, I don't think that ribbon would hold up to any kind of laundering. Of course the online shop I bought it from doesn't seem to be available right now so I just have to hope that the new ribbon will be a good color. It's hard to tell from internet pictures.
