Progress Report
I finished my robe a la piemontaise this week. I haven't taken any pictures yet since it looks awful on the dummy. It doesn't fit her at all. I really need to get a smaller dummy.
Then I finished knitting the first sleeve of my 1907 sweater and have done the first fifth of the second sleeve.
In smaller project news, I made a new cover for my 18th century muff that will coordinate with the robe a la piemontase and am nearly finished with a 1780's-1790's shift to go under it. The sleeves on my old shift are a little wide for the narrower sleeves of the 1780's and 1790's. I just need to cut the neck and hem it, and I'll have a new shift.
Now a Jane Austen event has come up, and since early March is likely to be quite cool, I want a pelisse. I think I've got everything I need to make one, and I think I can do it in three weeks. Here's hoping it goes well.
