Time for More Crinoline

[atherleisure]

I finished knitting all the pieces and parts for a 1930’s or 40’s purse and beret. I started putting them together, but I ran out of crinoline, which is used to give both the bag and hat structure. I’ll have to get more. The dress they go with is nearly finished. I intend to hem it tonight, which will finish it except for two non-functional buttons. I didn’t really like what I had so will look at the store when I go to get crinoline.

I really liked the yarn that I used for them so I bought more to make the knickerbocker shooting stockings I’ve had my eye on for quite awhile. Not that there’s any rush, but I went ahead and cast the first stocking on last night since I’m not that excited about the sweater I’m working on. (It’s fine, but I’m excited about the stockings, which I had tried to start a few weeks ago only to find that the yarn that I had bought for them a couple of years ago didn’t even work when doubled.)
