Blackwork

[need_pins_les]

I've barely even started on my two Dickens dresses and I'm already getting the itch to make pieces for the next Ren Faire season in April. I figure I'll start small and just work on a shirt for now.This is just the beginning of a full outfit I'm pondering.

Don't you just love blackwork!? It's just that it's so much work...
Looking good so far!

Thank you! I really love blackwork, but I have so many other projects going on that by the time ren faire season rolls around I have no time at all. Thankfully i'm starting nice and early this time.

Oh, how pretty! I love blackwork, but good patterns are so hard to find. I really like this one -- I think it's going to make a wonderful shirt.

Thank you! I found the pattern online (I wish I could remember where I originally found it) and just fell in love with it.

I too love blackwork. I'd love a blackwork excuse, but right now I'm firing up a crewel project!

The shirt will be very elegant.

Oh I *love* crewel! I'd never have the time to try it, or an event to show it off at, but I've always thought it looks so gorgeous. Pictures please! :D

There will be! It's to be the stomacher for my rust coloured linen polonaise.
