  • happy birthday to me

    Silk Ribbed Corset
    Pattern: by Annie Modesitt
    Yarn: Madil Eden, colour “mocha”, 100% bamboo, 5 skeins
    Needles: Denise US6
    Started: July 21, 2005
    Finished: July 30, 2005

    Notes: I had some problems with the pattern and its format, but it all worked out in the end. I emailed Annie about an updated revised copy, but never got a reply – but that could be due to some weirdness with my email. I still had problems with chart F even following the revised copy. Let’s see, what else…oh. I couldn’t figure out the icord cast on, so I did a normal loop cast on and it worked fine. And I just didn’t do the crochet edging – I wore the top today and it was fine, so that’s that!

    Look, look, what I got for my birthday from my boy:

    An oak umbrella swift!

    MADE BY HIM!

    And he’s all mine. Heh. I thought I’d taken pictures of birthday acquisitions, but it would appear not. Tomorrow. Now I must sleep.
