A little late to the party, but I joined Ravelry today. I wanted to see some sweaters actually made up from A Stitch in Time Vol. 2 to help me narrow down which sweater to start with. It'll be my very first time knitting a sweater. I haven't made anything that wasn't a rectangle yet, except for an experiment with lace edging. Should be interesting. Anyways, as I was browsing around on Ravelry looking at vintage sweaters, I saw ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
koshka_the_cat on there (for her sontag). Then I realized that a bunch of people on LJ are also on Ravelry! So I tracked you guys down and added you to my friends. I'm on there as mala-14 if you feel like adding me.
In sewing news, I've finished my 1908 mock-up and ordered the busk and some boning. I also ripped out the hem of my tucked petticoat to shorten it about two inches. I'm planning on re-sewing the hem tomorrow. I think my next project will be the corded petticoat. I've already got the panels ripped for it and I have some hemp cording that should work. I've been procrastinating on it because it seemed like so much work, but productivity seems to be at an all-time high this year, so I figured there's no time like the present. Plus, after seeing pictures ofjennil's new 1840s dress, it really makes me want to get cracking on my own late 1830s dress. Maybe I can get the corset and the corded petticoat both done this month. Then I'd feel really good about myself. ;)
