Give me wool!

The original plan was to make two wool and two linen dresses for Pennsic. The revised plan was to bag the fourth dress - the chocolate brown wool one. I was running out of time and hoping to start another project beforehand.

Now that I have everything but sleeves on two dresses, everything but sleeves and hem on the third, I've picked the fourth dress back up again. After working on two linen dresses, I'm just so happy to be working with wool again! Unless the linen is significantly cooler (I don't expect it to be any different, actually) I don't think I'll be doing that again. The eyelets were painful to poke, compared to doing it in wool. Even just pulling the threads through for the eyelets was more of a pain.

Ugh. Linen sucks.

I whipped through more than half of the eyelets yesterday evening on the brown dress. I think that the hems take me longer than the eyelets. That's an interesting thing to consider.

Jeff's making good progress on the chests that he'll have for sale at Pennsic. They're really sweet. I'll nudge him to post pictures and a description.
