Three Yards
I have three yards of hand-knit lace!
It took 82 repeats of the pattern and something on the order of 500 yards of thread.
Now I guess I'll have to make up the flounce for the petticoat so I can finish my oldest UFO (started in August).
In other news, I started knitting new 18th century mitts and found that I apparently didn't fix the pattern the first time I made them. They were awfully big, even going down a couple of needle sizes so I ripped it all out and started over again. I guess I should fix that pattern...
And my 1870-ish dress is finished except for the collar and cuffs. It will take awhile to do all the rolled hems, but I'm pretty happy with how it's coming out. No, you don't get pictures because I don't feel like getting all dressed up. (More accurately, things have been very busy so I haven't had time to get all dressed up.)
