Finished knittinig the waistcoat!

Only have to sew in very many threads (about half slippery metallic ones)
and give it a wash (doesn't cotton yarn pick up the dirt!) and final press.

S'looking good :-)

Sorry, that should be 'knitting'!

Congratulations! Is there a picture of it on the net somewhere?
I'm still hesitating to start one I want to make; too many UFOs
right now.

When it's dry I'll get Spouse to take a picture of me wearing it. It's from
a Vogue pattern.

You still haven't said how that's pronounced and if it's named for the river
:-)

Tamar didn't answer (perhaps didn't see your query!), but Mirjam quickly
did...

I asked Richard, I don't see Mirjam's posts.

It'll be good to see the pictures Mary, it sounds very unusual.

My family pronounces it to rhyme with "hammer" - unlike either
the babyname books or the river. It's from an old letter to
someone about seven generations back in the family; New England
Protestant families tended to use Biblical names, so ultimately
it's of Biblical origin.

Thanks. Never heard of 'the babyname books' :-)

It's still drying, the cotton is thick (DK) and made thicker still by the
doubled gold thread. I spun it but the final airing is taking ages. It's too
warm to light a fire to help the drying and I don't want to risk spoiling
the shape by hanging it on the line.

I can't wait to show everyone :-)

Bought the buttons today.

How is that even with my own sixty years of buttons, my mother's ninety
years and Spouse's mother's eighty years, I never had the right number, size
or colour of buttons in all the jars in my drawer???
