New project started, and sitting in my new favorite spot. It is quite, just bird’s singing. And Howie barking every once in awhile. My little slice of healing and heaven.

So here I am 1skein in and I am not sure how I feel about this. I am still going to keep going, but, I am not loving how this is working up so far.

New project is underway!

This is my interpretation of a Songtag, or a “Bosom’s Buddy”. It is shawl that goes around your shoulders, crosses your bust and ties around your waist. It will keep you very warm, and it is easy to wear.
Patterns for this was found in various ladies magazines such as Peterson’s and Godey’s for both knit and crochet. This pattern is taken from the Peterson Lady magazine 1864 pattern.
Now, granted, for this attempt I am NOT using PC (period correct) materials. Which I never do. Once I get everything worked out, tweak what needs tweaked, then I can use PC materials.
These will be all natural fibers such as wools and cottons. The dyes will also be in a more conventional style, so no glitter or metallic threads will be found.
If I am feeling REALLY adventurous, I will find virgin yarns and dye it myself using natural dyes. But that is a whole other post, and a whole other day. Today I am just starting to see if I can actually follow a pattern from 1864!
🤔😵‍💫
So here is a question for you. Would you wear something like this in your modern life?
