Reeding?!

My boning channels are all sewn and the reeds are all in! Remember how my reed never came, then I emailed her and she said she'd send me a few lengths to be a size guide? well, the 'few lengths' she sent seem more like half a roll, so I had plenty to bone (reed?!) my stays :D
I got so much done yesterday. I finished the panel I started on Monday, and did another panel and started the first front on the bus on the way home. Last night when I went to bed I only had one and a half channels left on the first front! I'm amazed at how quickly I'm getting through these stays :) although, I have a feeling I'll slow right down when I start binding!
I'm now about to start the eyelets. Why did I decide it would be a great idea to have them open in the front AND the back!??!
