Patterns for Corticelli Yarn, 1922

Once commercial yarn was invented and women were not spinning it themselves, yarn producers realized it made a lot of sense to feed the hunger for new patterns. You see here a page taken from a free publication which you will find at the Antique Pattern Library online.

Because of black and white movies, and the modern tendency for movie directors to make everyone wear sepia tones in historical stories, we often forget that the people of the past lived with just as much color as well do. You see here 1920s sweaters with some very playful coloring especially the lower right-hand picture. But all of them have some color play if only tipping. Notice that the waists are not well marked, and belts tended to fall lower and looser. This is in keeping with the tube silhouette which became so popular during the 1920s and made women try to flatten out all of their curves. Dropped collars were also popular in the 1910s and in the early 1920s.

So the good news is whatever safety measures are part of my computer charger worked! The bad news is it is no longer a functional charger. It’s a little too melted to work

i would like to find a yarn color that is roughly close to this shade of orange:

as the doll is going to be using dark blue eyes and the contrast would look pretty good (ty to my friend for helping me narrow down colors here lol) but well. you would not believe how hard it is to find a more muted light orange. i have been to specialty yarn sites. if i did either of the two multi-colored yarns, it would be for highlights/still mostly orange just with other tones in there :) if u have specific opinions on this please comment bc good god i hate yarn shopping for this.

it looks kind of orangey in that photo bc it’s nighttime but the yarn is must stash vespa,which will end up looking like a not-quite-rainbow-order pink-and-blue-forward 12-stripe rainbow, as seen here:

If your zero waste advice video does nothing but push products made out of virgin material no matter how clean that material is you’re a spineless sham and you should feel bad

Today has just been utter crap (still dealing with trash collection issues after two months!) but for a couple of bright spots. One I can't share yet (INTERNAL SCREACHING!!!!!), the other, I've been spinning my second single for that new yarn I'm testing on the e-spinner.

Tonight, I get to be a werewolf, too. Guess it's going to end on a brighter note, at least! :)
