eyelets
Finished the eyelets this morning.
There's some slight pulling on the crossgrain that wouldn't press out, but oh well. The eyelets are tidy enough. I did them the quick (lazy) way: no running stitch outline and no whipping, just buttonhole stitch all the way around. And I like to face my buttonhole stitch in, so the purl bumps line the opening, like you would with a buttonhole. I often see it done the other way around, and it just doesn't seem as strong to me.
I'm going to prevail upon my hubby to lace me in this afternoon for a final check before I face the neckline and do the trim work.
