Ravelry

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 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 of jennil'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. ;)
