A Work Shockingly Still in Progess
I am still working on the skirt, though I confess to cheating on it for two days with socks - I love the new Baudelaire pattern from Knitty. I threw it down in disgust, though, because while my sock was turning out in a lovely fashion, I really can not stand the way toe-up socks look. There has got to be a way to make them so the toes aren't shaped like duck bills, and I am going to either find it or make it up, and then I am going to start the Baudelaire socks again.
In the mean time, this is what my skirt looked like last week. I have since added another four or five inches of stockinette to the top, with 45 more rounds to go (yes, I'm counting, and You. Would. Too.). I love this skirt, it's coming out beautifully and it's very soft and even if it doesn't fit me right (which I hope it will), I'll be very proud of myself for tackling such a daunting project. Not that's hard, or anything - the challenge is to keep going, day in and day out, with all those tiny stitches.
