A Knitted Skirt

Finished, just in time for the arrival of winter!

My nice and warm little skirt!

 

 

It's rib-knitted in a medium weight yarn which gives it

a simple and casual style that is easy to dress up.

 

 

The yarn is the wonderful warm and soft Lima from Rowan.

A dream in baby alpaca and merino wool!

It will be another skirt

This yarn was intended to be a wrap skirt. But during the work and despite the changes I made, I was disappointed with the result.

So I unraveled it. And it feels good!

This lovely highland wool from Peru will be something else.

 

But I want a warm knitted skirt so

now I'm making this one.

Wonderfully soft!

A Skirt for Winter

My plan was a skirt for fall but it didn't turn out that way.

I used another yarn than in the pattern and it was a nice yarn.

But when the skirt was almost finished I realised that

I didn't like the hem. I unraveled the skirt!

Then I bought the yarn used in the pattern. I knitted samples to find out which kind of hem I would like.

 

 

Then I noticed that I needed to buy a circular needle and I had to go Stockholm to get the right one.

But now I've started to knit the wrap skirt again.

 

 

The hem is simple and worked in garter stitch.

So far it looks good!

 

 



The Wrap Skirt Again!

Maybe someone has wondered if the wrap skirt is finished. Well, it almost was. But..., I was not happy with the hem, so I unraveled it.

 

 

I love this skirt so now I start it all over again but with the yarn used in the pattern. Though I'm still considering how to make the lower edge to get a nice drape.

The Skirt takes Shape

It's so good! Double seed stitch creates a fabric that is both stylish and that keeps its shape quite well. Perfect for a skirt.

 

 

The front scallop edge gives the skirt a softer look.

 

I look forward to autumn!
