(by Amanda Williams called "the Hush Chemise" was another gift from a blog reader. Just warms my heart to know that people who follow my blog love it enough to send me little gifts of thanks. I decided to use the thread/ yarn lace weight that I got from the lavender crochet frogged skirt my friend Jodee gave me. I have about 1.25 pounds of lace weight from that skirt the pattern claims to take about 12 ounces so I should have more than enough and then a lot left over. I re-spun the yarn the other day to make it a more correct weight for this project ie not cobweb weight but more a lace/sock weight.
I noticed in all the samples of other peoples work it always looks a little big or loose fitted since I want this to work under corsets my kids wear I am purposefully going to go down a size or two so we have negative ease. Hopefully that will work but I am expecting it to come out too large still.
As you can see I still have lots of this yarn even after doing about a third of the pattern. Because I have so much I may continue on with the knitting and make it more gown like to either use as a slip or as a nightgown for one of my girls.
