All done! I suppose I could find something better to lace them with, but I needed to make sure they fit. It's hard to believe I'm nearly half way through already. The side slits are adjustable enough that I think I will be able to wear these stays through the spring, and beyond. The linen is quite stretchy, and the fit is good. They are weirdly comfortable.

I love everything about this little cardigan! (except maybe the small 32-34 bust sizing). From Economy Knits 5, early late 30s/early 40s. Cute collar, puff sleeves, large celluloid buttons and the model has great hair. What a combination! The Economy Knit Books were published from the mid-thirties specially for the Woolworths stores. The post-war ones didnt mention a ‘brand’ of yarn which really does prove fingering is fingering is fingering. I hope you like it! x

Thank you! Arachne was a shepherd's daughter who began weaving at an early age. She became a great weaver, boasted that her skill was greater than Athena's, and refused to acknowledge that her skill came, at least in part, from the goddess. Athena took offense and set up a contest between them. Presenting herself as an old lady, she approached the boasting girl and warned: "You can never compare to any of the gods. Plead for forgiveness and Athena might spare your soul." "Ha! I only speak the truth and if Athena thinks otherwise then let her come down and challenge me herself," Arachne replied. Athena removed her disguise and appeared in shimmering glory, clad in a sparkling white chiton. The two began weaving straight away. Athena's weaving represented four separate contests between mortals and the gods in which the gods punished mortals for setting themselves as equals of the gods. Arachne's weaving depicted ways that the gods, particularly Zeus, had misled and abused mortals, tricking and seducing many women. When Athena saw that Arachne had not only insulted the gods but done so with a work far more beautiful than Athena's own, she was enraged. She ripped Arachne's work to shreds and hit her on the head three times. Terrified and ashamed, Arachne hanged herself. Then Athena said, "Live on then, and yet hang, condemned one, but, lest you are careless in the future, this same condition is declared, in punishment, against your descendants, to the last generation!" After saying this she sprinkled her with the juice of Hecate's herb, and immediately at the touch of this dark poison, Arachne's hair fell out. With it went her nose and ears, her head shrank to the smallest size, and her whole body became tiny. Her slender fingers stuck to her sides as legs, the rest is belly, from which she still spins a thread, and, as a spider, weaves her ancient web.
