Adjustment

[atherleisure]

I went back to the 1921 trunks and picked up the cast off stitches to add more ribbing to the top of the back. I started with 12 stitches each side of the seam (six would have been better) and picked up six additional stitches at the end of each row until I had wrapped a little over halfway around the waist. I also did it with needles a size smaller. They are much more satisfactory now. I'm not sure how they'll do in the water, but I'm less worried about them and probably won't be constantly concerned they're falling down when dry.

Last night I knit a gauge swatch for my 1930's bathing suit, and I think holding the fingering weight yarn double is going to work. I also taped together the pattern for the 1940's dress that I bought fabric for in July. I would like to get both of those projects started today. I already cast on the bathing suit, but I'd like to get a mockup of the dress bodice cut out. That won't happen until later.
