I knitted a purple skirt.
I'm so proud of myself being able to finish this knitting project with a satisfying result. I'd say I'm getting used to knitting! (I'm still just a seasonal and occasional knitter though.)
The pattern is from my favorite old knitting book "A/T creation-knit" from NIHON VOGUE-SHA Co., Ltd. (Unfortunately, the book has been out of print for ages...AND written in Japanese.)
The original version in the book is an ankle length-, hem fringed-, rather sporty- and tight brown skirt. As you can certainly see I shortened it quite a bit, but I knitted as exactly as the chart said except some minor executions and length.
It has a knitted body with a crochet hem with fringes.

Have a great week!
Love the skirt! Great job... I'm also an occasional knitter and have yet to knit something wearable.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a fab skirt!
ReplyDeleteI have a cutting of a dress almost the excat same, even the fringe around the hem. So, So cool :)
Beautiful skirt!! And I love the color of that hoodie. ^-^
ReplyDeleteFantastic! I don't think I would have the patience to make such a big knit project! Well done for persevering!
ReplyDeleteWHOAH. yoshimi, this is stunning!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you made that--- it is beautiful! And so professional looking. You are a very good knitter!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a completely AMAZING skirt! I couldn't ever wear this anywhere, though! I'd snag it on something before I got out the door & be unwinding all over town... OR the entire skirt would have "fringes" everywhere. Do you ever share patterns I'd even learn Japanese for he occasion & finish it when I'm almost 70.
ReplyDeleteBravo!
