msmcknittingtonI was ridiculously productive today. Really, there's no excuse for it.
This is what I accomplished:
1. Copied the bodice pattern for the fitted English gown from Tudor Tailor. It's still the original size, but I only need to add four inches to it total, so tomorrow I'm going to add about two inches to each seam allowance and fit it on my duct tape double. I'm making it using this delicious mulberry/wine colored cotton velveteen. It's so gorgeous.
2. Copied the plain sleeve pattern from Tudor Tailor AND got a pair of sleeves to the point where I only need to tack the bias binding at the cuffs and shoulder opening down before they're wearable. Oh, and sew some ribbon ties on the sleeves and bodice.
3. Copied medium roll pattern from the same and made it. One hour project that started it all. Of course, now I've changed my mind about what I want to wear this weekend, so I won't need the bumroll, but it's now part of my wardrobe.
So, that's one finished object, one almost finished object, and one started project.
I've also been breaking knitting ground. I have about six or seven inches of Laura Chau's Thermal from the Winter 2006 edition of Knitty done. This thing is knit on size 2 needles, so I am deeply impressed with myself.
Unfortunately, I appear to have made a mistake. It's right above my thumb. I purled where I should have knit. It's not too noticeable, though.
I'm in love with this sweater. I can't wait to finish it and wear it, though I'm hoping that it will be a cold summer.
