Pictures

Since pictures are worth a thousand words, I hereby present you with pictures of my new 1871 knitted fanchon. More information can be found at the http://ravel.me/MCBurbage/kf.







I also have a picture of my 1890's corset laid flat. I haven't had the inclination to put it on and take pictures of it yet, but it is finished.



And no, I didn't bother to take pictures of both 1849 stockings. The second looks just like the first. Maybe I'll get a picture this weekend. Maybe not.

Wow, that fanchon is so pretty! It looks so delicate - like an actual antique.

That's the joy of period patterns. If you can get through the mistakes and can figure out what weight yarn and thread you're supposed to use, the results can be terrific.
