Skirty - All done!

I finished this skirty last Sunday on the car ride home from camp. It was then washed, and got mailed out on Thursday after it was all dry. It's a present for another online mama, I can't wait until she gets it!

It was knit on my Sweet Tarts, with matching trim. The undersoaker is made from the LTK Picky Pants pattern, with rolled cuff and ribbed waistband. The skirty I did without a pattern, doing increases by upping the needle size, with occasional kfab. The ruffle I did by doing kfab every other stitch for 2 rounds, knit a round, kfab a round, knit a round, then bind off. I love the way it came out, and it looked even better after washing and blocking.


Here's the skirty, that's all that was left of the Sweet Tarts -talk about cutting it close!

Here are Kaiden and my little sister modeling the skirt for me. (Before weaving in the end)

On the Needles - Skirty!

My first girly item! Woo! I dyed some more Patons merino to match my "Sweet Tarts", and decided to make a girly knit with it. It's a surprise for an online friend, and a very fun knit! I don't have a pattern for a skirty, but was able to get some help to figure it out.

Currently I'm ready to bind off the leg cuffs on the under-soaker, then I'll be picking up the stitches on the purl row near the waistband, and starting the skirt portion. I can't wait to see this finished! I tried it on K, so it should fit the recipient well. :)
