mala_14I've been plugging away at my 1908 corset for my Foundations Revealed article. I got the first mock-up done and tried on yesterday. It looks like the picture, but is all-around too big because it laces closed, so adjustments are in order.
Nothing else is really going on with me. The baby blanket continues to increase with only a few minor mistakes. I'm always amazed at how quickly knitting goes. You start out with some yarn and then suddenly it's a big piece of something. After seeing a lot of people raving about A Stitch in Time Vol. 2, I looked it up. Geez, there are some gorgeous patterns in there! The library has Vol. 1 and I'm probably going to check that out soon, but I like the styles in Vol. 2 better. I'm being good and not buying anything right now though. I'm still looking for a job and refuse to spend money on me until I get one. So tempting though!
