Skirtsicle

I've been wanting to knit Chloe a skirt for a while now so when I came across the Skirtsicle from MagKnits I knew I had to try it. I decided to stick with the colorway used in the pattern because it definitely just screams summer to me! It was my first time knitting with cotton and I found that I really enjoyed it. Good thing, as I ended up with 1 (almost 2) balls left over. Dishcloths maybe?

It all came out a little thicker and stiffer than I'd imagined but I read that cotton softens up with washing so we will see.

Here's my little model.. way too distracted by Elmo to give me a smile.


No idea what's next! I've got my eye on some patterns out of MDK but most of those are blankets and I haven't yet decided whether I want to brave a blanket in the summer or not (yeah-- no delusions that I'd be finished this spring!) :-)
