janestarzTime for another State of the Chain!
Ever since I thought "fuck that" and got over my fear of making armscyes, work has been progressing steadily.
Front piece: finished!
Back piece: working on armscye
Sleeves: to be made
Current weight: some 3 kilo's according to our crappy scales.
Time remaining: 3 months.
I still have some 6000 gold rings left, I've already opened half of that (left-hand pouch). I've also got some prepared chains ready for attaching (right-hand pouch)
Yesterday I worked on the back piece while I was over at Rob & Wendy's and I did seven rows. Wow. It'll only go faster now, as each row is 2 rings less than the previous ones.
Yes, the front bit looks like a bikini-top, but once I attach the sleeves you'll never notice it. Japanese 12-in-1 is perfect for raglan sleeves and 45° angles.
Happy Queen's Day!
