But, it will only lengthen it by 3. (Slightly less, due to seams)<br />
<br />
Edit: it’s actually only about 2.5” longer, due to seam allowances. Blogspot won’t let me edit the post correctly try.<br />
<br />
Method:<br />
Remove the sleeves, leave the side seams and all intact. <br />
Slice across the base of the neck on the front ONLY. I cut 7” down from shoulders.<br />

So, it’s 18” from shoulder fold to hem.<br />
Fold the flap up, making it 25”, and 4” back down, creating a 6” gap for the new fabric, and it’s 21”<br />

But the black knitting was beyond what her eyes could do...it is barely within what mine can do, right now. So, I agreed to knit it for her.<br />
<br />
What a challenge! The pattern isn't that hard, although there is patterning on the wrong side rows.<br />
<br />
First, I knit this, all cast on, following e chart, it is going fine, right?<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9562035@N02/8414279257/" title="photo by thumbelinasmum, on Flickr"><img alt="photo" height="598" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8358/8414279257_b75f8cc40d_c.jpg" width="800" /></a><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Wrong. Not at all fine. These are supposed to be leaf motifs, not sliced in half thingees.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So I finally ripped, thinking I had screwed up something in the previous repeat, and tried again, with a swatch.</div>
Carefully followed the chart, I know I was doing it right, right?
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9562035@N02/8416171197/" title="photo by thumbelinasmum, on Flickr"><img alt="photo" height="598" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8232/8416171197_c30963b7bd_c.jpg" width="800" /></a>
Still, wrong. See? One complete leaf, and one split. Checked for errata, and it made no sense, I must have the reprinted version, corrected, since the missing / mentioned were in my copy.<br />
<br />
So I looked, and I looked, and I analyzed the chart, and I thought about suggesting I do a different pattern....but, not be able to knit a pattern? Me? No...gotta figure this out...there are plenty of lovely, correct, finished shawls posted on Ravelry, it is clearly possible!<br />
<br />
Finally, the light dawned...there is no way the chart as printed will work. In the first repeat that / must be plain knits, and the subsequent repeats have it as the decrease! That would match the offset leaves, that looked right! That must be what the errata I wasn't understanding meant!<br />
<br />
Once I have done a good swatch, I will make a comment on the pattern in the Ravelry database, In case others have the same issue.<br />
<br />
Edited to add, I matched the dec that I changed to a knit with a dec at the other end, and that matches the pattern in my mom's book, which is a later edition.<br />

It is all getting stored in labeled bins, more or less by type, and I am writing down each item that goes into a bin. Since the notepad in question was 1) getting trashed, 2) constantly disappearing, as I kept using it in different places, and 3) not searchable, I typed it all into a spreadsheet.<br />
<br />
You would think this was straightforward. Nope. Spreadsheets hate me. Way back when, I could work spreadsheets and bend them to my will just fine. Not any more. But, I have a Champion! He came to my rescue, and beat that spreadsheet into submission. <br />
<br />
The final score was:<br />
Numbers: 1<br />
Colleen: .5<br />
Abe (aka Champion): 3<br />
<br />
I got .5 for figuring out (by accident...lucky shot!) that dragging a static filled field bigger meant you didn't have to paste the label in them all of them, it just happened.<br />
<br />
Now, my yarn spreadsheet is labeled by weight/type of yarn, box letter, number of skeins, and name of yarn. I may go back and add in ball weight and yardages.<br />
<br />
I need to fix the fabric spread sheet to reflect the box name and fabric content more elegantly, but the info is all there.<br />
<br />
Now, I can search, I can even sort by weight. If I go back and break it out, I could sort by fiber, but I can search by it, already. <br />
<br />
Now....I just need to remember to delete the yarn from the spreadsheet when I take it out of the box!Colleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13029537644437898609noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694438506640844136.post-60041006595603047332013-01-14T14:21:00.000-05:002013-01-14T14:21:00.483-05:00notes from campNow that I am over the plague, with only some coughing left, I'm entering my inventory into a spreadsheet, but first, I need to save the notes on the pad I used.<br />
<br />
So, here is a set of instructions from Knitting Camp, that I think is for the centered eyelet.<br />
<br />
row -1 (ws): double yo in the stitch above which you want the eyelet<br />
row 1 (RS): work to 1 before center<br />
slip 1, insert needle p-wise into next stitch. PSSO, partially slipped stitch<br />
yo, k2 tog *next stitch and partial stitch)<br />
row 2 (ws): K into Row below<br />
<br />
so that I don't forget how to do this again, I'm putting it here, so I can find it!Colleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13029537644437898609noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694438506640844136.post-67472475989742838812012-12-06T13:59:00.000-05:002012-12-06T13:59:15.628-05:00The Great Plague Score.

I once hear a suggestion of using pins or clips to pull e edge into the middle, while the work was laid flat on a table. I've been suggesting that ever since, but last week I improved upon it!<br />
<br />
I was making my second <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/woobie-princess" target="_blank">Woobie stuffie/blankie</a>, and I remembered from last time how frustrating casting on that many stitches was. I had the hardest time getting the number right, then making sure there was no twist. It just took forever. This time, I had a clever idea. First, I put a marker every fifty stitches, triple checking the numbers between markers (I still managed to mess that up, but wht can you do?). Then I put a safety pin every 6 inches or so into the very edge of the cast on edge...into the knotty bits under the cast on. (I cast on in long tail with waste yarn, to be clipped off, later, as a provisional cast on). Then, before joining, I threaded a bit of waste yarn though each safety pin, and pulled them all to the Center and tied it into a circle, making sure that the work was untwisted. This made it all much easier to see if the work was trying to twist!<br />
<br />
It still looked twisted around the needle, until I got a few inches done, but once I had made sure that there were no twists, the inner circle wouldn't let the sts twist all the way around. It worked great!<br />

It can be challenging to copy a painting, since you can seldom see all the details from the front and back. Mrs. Goldthwait, in Copley's painting, is a rich source of information. She is wearing a brown satin gown with sleeve ruffles, ruching and a decorated stomacher is barely seen, but she is turned sideways enough to tell that her gown has the flowing pleats of a sacque back. Mercy Otis Warren, in another of Copley's paintings, wears a blue satin gown, with much ruching and decorations on the stomacher. It is a bit earlier, and the gown may be a studio piece, as there are other paintings that seem to use the same gown. This gown has many of the same details as the gowns in the <i>Kyoto, Revolutions of Fashion</i>, exhibit book.<br />
<br />
I used a gown from <i>Kyoto</i>, p. 42 for the meandering pattern of ruching on the stomacher. I used the back views of the 3 sacques pictured on p. 52 to work out how to do the pleats and sleeve tops. Good close ups really help, when you haven't got extant artifacts at home to examine! I also used the schematic from Baumgarten's <i>Costume Close Up for</i> the construction, as well as Janet Arnold's <i>Patterns' of Fashion </i>for the sleeve ruffle shape (thanks, Sue Felshin, for lending me the pattern you made from the diagram in the book!).<br />

<br />
Here is a gown in <a href="http://www.kci.or.jp/archives/digital_archives/detail_10_e.html" target="_blank">Kyoto</a> that is similar to the way I want to trim this, but I'm just using ruching, not lace.<br />
<br />
Mrs Otis also wore this basic style in the John Singleton Copley painting, but it might be a "studio gown", a gown owned by the artist, that he painted a other women in.<br />

It appears that most women having their portraits paintings were vain enough to not wear their glasses, if they had them. It's pretty hard to tell if they used glasses at all!<br />
<br />
There are a few paintings depicting women in glasses, though.<br />
<br />
Here is the <a href="http://www.bildindex.de/bilder/mi01913e05a.jpg" target="_blank">Countess of Stolberg-Gedern,</a> by Lippol. Not American, but well off. And not the kind of glasses that seem to be most common.<br />
This is <a href="http://www.wga.hu/frames-e.html?/html/a/aved/m_crozat.html" target="_blank">Madame Crozat,</a> Aved, holding her glasses. But, it's French, 1741 So, not so great.<br />
Here is a servant woman, in glasses, in <a href="http://www.history.org/history/teaching/enewsletter/volume5/december06/primsource.cfm" target="_blank">High Life Below Stairs</a>, by Collet, 1763. Closer, it's England, but a servant woman, not a well off American in silk.<br />
This <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Anna_Dorothea_Therbusch_001.jpg" target="_blank">woman</a> seems to be an artist, painting herself, Anna Dorothea Therbusch, in 1777, but it doesn't seem to be English.<br />
<a href="http://lwlimages.library.yale.edu/walpoleweb/oneitem.asp?imageId=lwlpr04459" target="_blank">My Daughter Anne</a>, by Walpole, is a satire, I think, 1779. It shows a neatly dressed mother, horrified by her daughter, and the mother is wearing glasses. Now, this could be to show how dowdy mom is compared to her over-the-top dressing daughter, but in order to suggest that glasses make a woman dowdy, that means that some must have worn them, and put up with the dowdiness. That is fine with me, I need the glasses and will put up with being dowdy! The woman in them is in a very nice, likely silk short clock with trim, so I think she works for me!<br />
<a href="http://www.worcesterart.org/Collection/Early_American/Artists/gullager/martha/painting.html" target="_blank">Martha Saunders Salisbury</a>,by Gullageris a bit late, 1789, but shows a terrific woman in silk with glasses. But it doesn't really help document them for me, in 1775.<br />
<br />
And, for what the spectacles should look like in 1775, Here is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Franklin1877.jpg" target="_blank">Ben Franklin</a> in his.<br />
<br />
Also, from the <a href="http://www.museumofvision.org/collection/artifacts?accession=1984.000.00480" target="_blank">Museum of Vision,</a> Spectacles like the originals I found on ebay. Also, From the <a href="http://www.aoa.org/x10951.xml" target="_blank">American Optometric Association,</a> they have a pair from 1780 just like mine. I had my local independent optician put my bifocal script into these frames. He had to remove the rivets, as undoing the screws didn't allow the lenses to be removed. We have temporarily replaced those rivets with new screws, and, if we discover a safe way to add rivets, we will change them. The loops originally had been wrapped with a dark silk or linen ribbon (I think silk). It was disgusting, and since I'm wearing these, I removed it! Then I cleaned the glasses up to have the lenses installed. They work quite well, but we need to gently adjust them, as they hurt one ear.<br />

What we need to do is document all our clothing for this event. It's not all that hard, if one is careful with fabric choices....I am using this fabric:<br />
<span style="color: #0000ee;"><u><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9562035@N02/7805049196/" title="photo by thumbelinasmum, on Flickr"><img alt="photo" height="500" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7253/7805049196_00a579c33c.jpg" width="374" /></a></u></span><br />
<br />
I don't remember where I got it. <strike>It's a "barred silk", it has little skinny cross bars, in addition to the stripes. </strike> Correction: Mine is a ribbed silk, not barred. The lines are white, they are just the weft.<br />
<br />
There are similar fabrics in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Revolution-Fashion-European-Clothing-1715-1815/dp/1558590722/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1345250792&sr=8-1&keywords=Revolution+in+fashion" target="_blank">Revolution in Fashion 1715-1815</a>, p.38 has the closest. Here is a detail of the fabric in the book. (If you haven't got this book, you need to see it! It's terrific!)<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0000ee;"><u><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9562035@N02/7805055850/" title="photo by thumbelinasmum, on Flickr"><img alt="photo" height="500" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7252/7805055850_347b029a35.jpg" width="374" /></a></u></span><br />
<br />
Pretty similar, hmmm? Not perfect, but it's next to impossible to get a dead ringer in modern fabric.<br />
<br />
My gown is almost a gown in shape, but needs its sleeves sewn on, front skirts, robings and a ton of trimming!Colleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13029537644437898609noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694438506640844136.post-48287369525624565812012-08-06T13:35:00.003-04:002012-08-06T13:42:40.435-04:00Bridget's Faggotting Cast On<a href="http://www.ravelry.com/people/bridgielace">Bridget</a> (Ravelry link) has taught this lace cast on to me several times, and this time, it stuck! It's brilliant....it's lacey, pretty, stretchy, and has enough "oomph" to hold the edge! It isn't flipping up, as a garter edge can.<br />
<br />
The way it was taught to me was:<br />
Cast on 2 sts provisionally.<br />
Yo, p2tog turn<br />
Repeat this row ad infinitem.<br />
When you have the number of loops required, minus 4, it's time to pick up sts. Counting the two sts on the needle, pick up a stitch through each loop along the side of the long skinny strip. Be careful you don't twist it! When you get to the end, you should have the number required, minus 2. Pick up the two provisional sts. Done and ready! It's elegant, isn't it?
Well, this constant turning made me want to poke my own eyes out....so I knit back and forth as follows.<br />
<br />

Here I am just putting all the loops onto the right needle. They are large enough it's easiest for me to put them all on the needle, then knit them off, as the last step in the cast on. The cast on isn't complete until the loops all have working yarn stitches pulled through them. In this photo, I picked up the sts with the leading leg behind the needle, because it was easier. I knit them off for the cast on row through the back loop. You can pick them up with the leading leg forward, and knit them standardly, if you prefer. Just avoid twisting them!<br />

So, now my fabrics are cut, new, heavy duty zipties purchased, and the next step is to make swatches to decide on the best channel width for these zip ties. The best boning, currently, seems to be hand pounded ash which is 1) expensive and 2) hard to get. SO, since we aren't sure that these stays will work well (we are hopeful, though) and aren't sure that I won't need new ones in a year, anyway (hopeful about that, too!), zip ties are a good, interim choice. Once I decide on a pattern likely to last 5 years, I will get the good stuff and make them completely by hand, channels and all. This pair, machine channels and everything else by hand.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9562035@N02/6772884528/" title="photo by thumbelinasmum, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7045/6772884528_c2784ca363.jpg" width="374" height="500" alt="photo"></a><br /><br />The new, real, pair are cut out. I have heavy duty (thicker, wider, longer) zip ties that need testing, so I will stitch some sample channels, to find out the right channel width, and then I can start sewing my new stays!!!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9562035@N02/6772901132/" title="photo by thumbelinasmum, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7066/6772901132_272b17ee93.jpg" width="500" height="374" alt="photo"></a><br /><br />Yes, they are going to be pink!Colleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13029537644437898609noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694438506640844136.post-10455644492241742532012-02-08T13:37:00.002-05:002012-02-08T13:41:20.819-05:00YarnMore photos of this yarn before I start winding it...<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9562035@N02/6842373613/" title="photo-6 by thumbelinasmum, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7014/6842373613_c00d55350e.jpg" width="374" height="500" alt="photo-6"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9562035@N02/6842380499/" title="photo-8 by thumbelinasmum, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7142/6842380499_58c902b655.jpg" width="374" height="500" alt="photo-8"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9562035@N02/6842382047/" title="photo-9 by thumbelinasmum, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7008/6842382047_50516cb925.jpg" width="374" height="500" alt="photo-9"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9562035@N02/6842383463/" title="photo-10 by thumbelinasmum, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7015/6842383463_44938b22db.jpg" width="374" height="500" alt="photo-10"></a><br /><br />It's amazing, to me, how much like yarn this yarn looks like! I mean, really, if I spun it, it shouldn't really be yarn, right? I'm just plain amazed that spinning really does produce yarn!!!Colleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13029537644437898609noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694438506640844136.post-61153708299212870972012-02-06T15:09:00.002-05:002012-02-06T15:19:20.380-05:00Spinning spinning spinning<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9562035@N02/6826667925/" title="photo by thumbelinasmum, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7009/6826667925_22dbf3b0f8.jpg" width="500" height="374" alt="photo"></a>We had a challenge, at the local spinning guild. One person had been dying (been to a dying workshop, maybe, I think). She brought in a whole bunch of bags, two color ways, one greens and earth tones, the other circus colors. She suggested that everyone each take a bag home, spin it up, and bring it back, and we can compare. I'm just a beginner spinner, but I wanted to play, too! <br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9562035@N02/6826654471/" title="photo by thumbelinasmum, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7143/6826654471_27f8a7a36c.jpg" width="374" height="500" alt="photo"></a><br />This pink is much closer than the top finished skein's color.<br /><br />I took a bag of circus colors, I think it was about 4 oz of bright blue, brilliant yellow, and fuchia. After much debate, I decided to use Fractal Spinning. I divided each color in half, and one bobbin got all the blue, then all the yellow, then the pink. The other bobbin used the same sequence, but I divided each color into 4. Hindsight suggests that I should have taken the first bobbin's half and divided it in 4ths, and the second bobbin into 16. Next time!<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9562035@N02/6826656445/" title="photo by thumbelinasmum, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7160/6826656445_07bd7593f2.jpg" width="374" height="500" alt="photo"></a><br />Then I plied them together, starting with both pink ends. I plan on making a simple feather and fan, garter, or modified garter, moebius cowl. I think that the mirroring will show off the colors nicely.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9562035@N02/6826658327/" title="photo by thumbelinasmum, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7014/6826658327_981daf8511.jpg" width="374" height="500" alt="photo"></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9562035@N02/6826666003/" title="photo by thumbelinasmum, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7167/6826666003_780eae0185.jpg" width="374" height="500" alt="photo"></a><br /><br />I made yarn!Colleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13029537644437898609noreply@blogger.com1
