Moving Along

atherleisureI've been making progress on (almost) all the projects I have in hand right now.
1920 tuxedo sweater: I've finished knitting the body, the belt, and one pocket. I've cast on the second pocket. I've knit as much of the collar as I can and have now run out of yarn. I will finish knitting the second pocket and sew all the green pieces together, but then this will be on hold until I buy more white yarn.
"Street Scene" cross-stitch: I finished the third row of blocks on the seventh page last night.
1860's dress: I'm nearly finished. The skirt is complete. The bodice is functionally complete except for a couple of hooks at the waist. I'm in the process of trimming it. Then I need to make cuffs for it and baste them in. I also need to baste it to the skirt.
1902 vest: This is the one thing that hasn't seen any progress. I got pink ribbon, but the pink is very pink and looks terrible with the mustier pink of the yarn. I don't love ivory ribbon with it, but I think matching pinks online is going to be more trouble than it's worth. I'll just use the ivory.
Going forward:
I'm wearing the 1860's dress next weekend so I need to finish it. Then I ought to spend a night or two finishing off the 1902 vest just because it's been lingering for so long. I expect to finish knitting the second pocket for the tuxedo sweater so I also ought to sew together that so that it's as done as it can be at present. Then I need to make a pair of culottes for my daughter before I start on the 1826 promenade dress.
