Working on my second cuff. Turned it inside out just to look at the other texture. Don’t know which pattern I love more.

GUYS !! I SEWED MY FIRST BUTTONHOLE JUST NOW!!!
Tumblr media
I'm ridiculously proud of myself. I don't have a sewing machine, so i do all my sewing by hand. I actually went to my parents' house to try to do buttonholes on my mother's machine, but she's never done that before, and we couldn't figure it out, so she let me borrow some silk thread (the generally recommended thread for buttonholes cause it's quite strong) and i did pretty good on my first try.
Tomorrow, I'll go to the local shop and find black silk thread cause my current project is in black, and then i can work on that all day tomorrow, and maybe even finish it!

Man finished! I rate him a solid very cute out of ten.
This guy was published as a doily insert plus edging for a linen table cloth (seen Here). The linen part was of zero interest to me so I knit him as a stand alone doily and I very much prefer him as such. Chart A (the "doily") and Chart B (the "edging") match up for knitting in the round as a single doily.
Below the read more is going to refer a lot to the charts, which I got from the amazing Ramona French. While this is the only version of the charts I've seen, looking at the Rav page it seems to also be cut into A and B charts in the same spot. It makes sense in context of the original pattern but I don't like it, both for the reason i'll get to below and also because I straight up just don't like how it looks in the original pattern.
Even without the alterations I'll propose, I think he's a good doily just as he is. The problems I have are barely noticeable/nitpicky now that he's blocked out.
Starting with the edging vs doily distinction. This problem starts with the original pattern since it has you knit chart A for the insertion and chart B for the edging around every insertion and the linen tablecloth edges. But divorcing the actual charts from the linen, the charts really should be rows 1-31 of A as the "doily" and Chart A rows 33-41 and all of chart B for the "edging". The reason I'm so specific about this is because it's focus for any changes I would make. The end of chart A and the beginning of chart B flow together perfectly. It's where the doily/center flower ends (Row 31) and the edging begins (Row 33) that is the problem spot.
Tumblr media
(I should've picked a darker colour foam to block this out on, sorry if it's hard to see)
The large center petals (doily) end with a yo, twisted knit 1, yo at the very tip. Then the set up row for the edging is all knits with a yarn over... that is off center of the petal. In a more personal gripe, I don't like how the mesh in the flower portion looks next to the edging. It's not bad (and would probably bother me less if it weren't off center) but it's not my favourite.
The mesh not looking nice next to the edging is an easy fix that comes directly from a doily that has a very similar feel to this one. Sechsblatt is another doily I've knit and also has a 6 petaled flower with mesh between the petals and an edging, but it's edging is separated by several rows of plain stockinette. In my revised chart I added just one odd numbered row of stockinette. I'm not 100% on this change, it's something that you just can't know if it looks good until it's swatched out.
Tumblr media
The change I am 100% on is centering the yarn over to be directly above the tip of the center flower petal. There's a number of ways to do so, I'm honestly surprised it wasn't done for the original pattern. My revised chart moves the k2tog on row 35 to directly over the center stitch of the petal, which required moving the start of the repeat one stitch left. This also needs swatched out but I'm fairly confident it'll line up, at least better that just being blatantly off center like it is in the original, and since the k2tog was just moved instead of being added, the stitch count should still work out.
All other changes to the chart were simply made for personal preference/printing convenience.
Tumblr media
Eventually I'll knit this revised version but I don't have a timeline on that yet, knitting the same thing multiple times is bad for my attention span. Regardless I would wait because I want to see how the crochet bind off holds up. I usually pin out every chain of the crochet bind out individually but I thought pinning two together looked really good on this particular doily. It made the blocking process a lot tighter. That could've been because I accidentally stretched it too much in the first place (I forgot this doily was 6 parts instead of 8) but it was incredibly funny to behold.

Highland Schottische Kilt Hose by Nancy Bush. The first sock took me two days, the second one…two months. I wanted to have them done on time for the Highland Games, but that didn’t happen! In the end, I think that’s for the best, as it hit the high 90’s that weekend. But, they’re waiting in the wings should we get another life threatening winter storm! Just have to whip up some garters for them.

@earlgrey24 you've inspired me
Hi my name is Chevalier François-Marie Arouet de Volatire Gentilhomme de Chambre du Roi. I like writing satire (that's why I got put in the Bastille) and I have a long grey wig à la Duc de Nevers and sparkly dark eyes that everyone talks about. A lot of people tell me my style looks like Louis 14 (AN: if u don't know that is get da hell out of here!). I'm not related to the Duc de Richelieu but I wish I was because he's a major fucking hottie. I live in Prussia but I'm French. I have pale white skin. I'm also a poet, and I write for the Comédie-Française which should really be called the Theâtre-Française where my plays are the most famous (I wrote my first one when I was nineteen). I'm basically nobility (in case you couldn't tell) and I wear a lot of lace and wig powder. All of my clothes are retro because it's cooler. For example today I was wearing a long pink and gold waistcoat, grey stockings, a blue silk coat with matching trousers and long lace cuffs reaching to my fingertips, a powdered wig, and my red Louis 14 shoes. I was walking outside Sanssouci. It was cloudy and I was freezing. Maupertuis stared at me and I put my middle finger up at him.

People sometimes talk about Laurent not wanting to let anyone but Damen touch him post-canon but after the whole thing with Isander…anyway Laurent’s Councilmen find the Akielon King’s aversion to anyone other than himself attending to King Laurent in any capacity very…eccentric. Isn’t lacing and unlacing the King’s doublet supposed to be a pet or servant’s job? Isn’t the armory supposed to help with the King’s helm and chainmail? Don’t the stable boys attend to the King’s horse? Akielos is a very bizarre country indeed.
But it isn’t an Akielos thing, it’s a Damen thing, and the Akielon Kyroi are equally baffled.

Rediscovered the massive amounts of dopamine/serotonin that Making A Thing generates, and now l am making:
Anders Cosplay
Very delicate crocheted lace trim
Tunisian crochet sampler blanket
AND I'm still very actively planning out an entire Regency gentleman's/Temeraire aviator's wardrobe - I'm getting all the patterns I need for my birthday in March
