Projects
I should be able to start on that corset in a couple of weeks as it turns out. I got afghan hooks for half-price at Hobby Lobby earlier this week, I’ve had the yarn for a couple of weeks, and now I just need to get the boning. I’m going to order it today, I think. I’m all excited about it.
No photos of the shawl yet, unfortunately. It’s huge and I just can’t seem to get a good photo of it.
Last night I finished stitching up the memo bag. I just need to sew on the D-rings (actually, they’re not D-rings; what I found were these little rectangular rings that looked perfect for it), felt it, and put the strap on it.
Wish me luck with the felting. It’s my first try and I have front-loading washer so I’m not sure how it’ll go.
I did end up giving up the chevron stitch on the flap. It looked so pretty in the photos, but I just couldn’t get a good gauge for it. I went up a hook size but the flap still came out a lot narrower than the rest of the purse. So I did shells instead. Not as cute, but it worked. I still had to go up a hook size. I don’t really know why. My dcs come out skinnier than hdcs.
I will probably now proceed to post 400 quiz results, but I’ll try to have some photos next time I make a real post.
