Nearly done with the knitting part of the Princess Royal scarf! I am hating it and I hope my stepmother likes it because knitting a scarf lengthways suuuuuuucks.

Being on vacation, on the other hand, opposite-of-suuuuuuucks. I was grumbling to myself about having to go grocery shopping today and then I was like, oh! I don't have to do that! I can go whenever it's convenient for me! Really wishing I were independently wealthy rn so I could live like this all the time.

I decided to start exploring historybounding (which I realized is what I want to do with my wardrobe) with Edwardian shirtwaists and vests. Not sure if I want matching vests and skirts (cute) or like tweed skirts and fancy vests (fun).

That is a curious scarf, please share a photo when you're done.

Knitting the scarf lengthwise does put a fair few stitches on the needles. Are you going to put on the pom-poms per the instructions or leave them off so it looks more modern?

It is very curious. There are some photos on the Ravelry page but I think they made it twice as long as it says because they're all way bigger than mine ...

I'm thinking of doing tassels instead - it needs something at the ends. Although I'm just overall not very happy with it, it's so spindly!

It really is rather a token scarf rather than something to provide a lot of warmth.

When I made mine, all of the ones I found in Ravelry were much bigger because they all used worsted weight yarn. Here’s mine, if it helps: https://ravel.me/MCBurbage/prs

They are very Victorian. But it does look like it will be useful as a fussy indoor neck draft excluder for a lady without distracting from her carefully curated neckline.

Oooh, yeah, that's much more the scale that mine is on!
