I knit 50ft of lace and somehow didn't throw my knitting machine out of the window.

I have taken a big step in my regency knit dress project - knitting large panels of lace! I'll be basically steeking all of the pieces out of these panels, which is terrifying - but I saved that for next time :) This time it is me vs the knitting machine and trying to knit over 50sqft of lace (though I ran out of yarn...)

I have been trying to knit a regency dress, and have been struggling quite a bit with the lace on the whole width of my knitting machine. So instead, I ended up knitting a practice 1940s bed jacket with the lace pattern I will be using for the regency dress. Don't worry - I'm still going to knit hte regency dress! It is just going to take a little longer than I planned :D

Engineering knits is a place for people who enjoy all kinds of vintage and antique crafts - from sewing to knitting, crochet to embroidery I like to try it all. I definitely have a preference for historical fibre crafts, and it is my dream to one day make an entire outfit from sheep to sweater. I hope you enjoy watching me and my favorite companion, Nutella, struggle through some fascinating projects!
