Current and Future Projects

I'm eating pie for breakfast.  :)

I haven't been super productive in a while, which has been nice, but I finally felt ready to rethink my project list and be realistic about what I want to do.  I cut a bunch of projects from my 'fantasy' list (things I write down, thinking I might get to them, maybe, someday) because I figured that by the time I actually get to them, I will be enamored with a new idea anyway.

Current:
Green alpaca sweater: I did all the armhole shaping, and now I have about 3" more of the upper back to knit, then I will be done with the back piece, yay!  I've used about 2 1/4 skeins of yarn.

Victorian Corset: for my friend Christy.  We went to SR Harris the other day and she chose a lovely silk taffeta with cream and pale green stripes.

Upcoming:
Pocket hoops: I'm about 1/3 done with these.  I want to finish the channels and insert the reeds today.

Pirate: Still planning on making an 18th c jacket & skirt ensemble for the TCCG event in October. I know most ladies go in their petticoats and stays for pirates, but I want something a little more clothing-like.

Halloween: I'm keeping the details of this one to myself for now, but I'm planning something fun!

Embroidered wool modern skirt: I get tired of plain and solid all winter, so I am planning a new skirt with just a little embroidery at the hem, in a paisley design.


I'm putting aside any summer sewing I didn't get to until next year.  Time to think about fall and winter things!
