Fancy That!

Ok, so here it is, my work in progress. I think I started this project last Christmas on the way to Virginia or Pennsylvania while I was in the car for too many long hours. Yes, Christmas '07. I can't say I'd ever tried knitting a lace pattern before, so it got a frogging a few times because I miscounted or knit a row in the wrong direction once.

This is a picture of my inspiration pattern
As you can see, I have made my corset a little differently because I usually don't like buttons down the front of anything. Now, think long and hard, have you ever seen me in a button down shirt? I took this pattern, and made it a V-neck. Hehehehe!! I couldn't stand it if something came unbuttoned or bowed out of a buttoned area. Enough said! .

I've been on the lookout for a purple ribbon that will be crocheted into the border. I wish I had the gumption to take this off of the needles to try it on, but what a pain it would be to get it back onto the needles again. Oh well, I'll just keep on knitting and purling until it's long enough to finish. I'm going to change it up at the bottom also. I found this idea on the Ravelry.com. I plan to add these circular cables as the edging embellishment. I'm so excited. Usually, I've been picking this up to knit while I wait at the Dr. office after my allergy shots. They want me to sit around for 30min. to see if I have a reaction. I've been sitting and knitting. I am trying not to get too anxious for this project to be done, but I've had a shrug picked out to knit for a while now. I have the yarn waiting behind the couch!! It's going to be beautiful!
