Project Update
I just thought I'd post an update on the projects I have in progress.
1849 stockings: I'm a little over halfway through the decreases between calf and ankle. It doesn't sound like much, but I'm thrilled. It takes a long time to knit something twenty rows to the inch, particularly when you really only knit when you're out and about.
1890's corset: I've finished the machine work. I just need to sew down the binding on the inside and finish the flossing, which is about 3/8 finished.
1880's combinations: The first round of seams is finished, and I've started hemming bits and pieces. They're still in their infancy, but progress occurs, even if it's slow.
I have high hopes for finishing the corset this week, but that depends upon whether I am good about spending the hour every evening that I've allotted myself on a little pre-work cross-stitching for next year's Christmas ornaments.
