Things have been a little stressful lately, but I'm still working on costuming projects. I'm not quite finished my 1867 print dress because I'm tired of it. All that needs doing is hooks and eyes, so it's something I can finish up quickly when motivated. I cut out the lining for my 1883 velveteen bodice and the new black velveteen is currently in the wash. I also started up knitting my Canadian cloud. I decided to change my pattern to 5 rows of garter stitch and one row of YO, K2tog, all with a slipped stitch at the beginning. Somehow it already has a couple of boo-boos, but nothing major, so I'm forging on. (As far as I can tell, I missed a YO at some point, but had the right number of stitches later for several repeats of the pattern and then I counted and found that I was short a stitch so made sure to add another one. I have no clue what happened with that.) Pictures:

It's so soft and fluffy! You can see all the little fuzzies, or "halo" of the Shetland wool.

Thanks! It'll be quite a while before it's done though. It's going to be LONG. :)

Thanks! Cloud is definitely a good name for it.

I'm working on a Canadian cloud as well. Mine is in beige because if we ended up wearing them on the same outing, I didn't want to "match" you. The pattern I have says do it in a herringbone stitch. I looked that up and found an explanation for that but I have no idea if modern herringbone is the same as Victorian herringbone. Anyway, my stitch takes for ever! 45 minutes per row. And there is very little length added to it once a row is done. I'm having a hard time getting back to it...I'm bored! Anyway, I like yours. The color and stitch will make it look like a cloud wrapped around your head!

Yours looks really pretty! I've been thinking of yours since I started this. But it sucks that it takes so long. I'm getting worried that I might not have bought enough yarn for mine. I really want to make it to 3 yards in length, but we'll see after the first ball of yarn is used up. If it's not enough, maybe I'll be asking for some more at Christmas. Thanks!
