A skirt it is!
Thanks for the skirt idea, Jennifer. I think I will make something similar to the skirt I made for a holiday party. I found the pattern in knit.1 magazine (Premier Issue), and it was just the fastest thing ever- it's knitted in the round on size 13 and 15 needles, mostly stockinette stitch and a tiny bit of ribbing at the waistline. It took about 4 hours to do, give or take (two round trips from San Jose to San Francisco on Caltrain. I think it would have been a tad faster if I worked on it in one or two big sittings). I tweaked the increases and decreases to match the ebb and flow of my own personal hips and thighs, but that's the beauty of knitting things for yourself, now isn't it? Here's a picture of the finished skirt:
(Sorry kids, I know the camera phone I am using just doesn't cut the mustard. I'm going to get a new one ASAP. In the mean time, I offer my sincerest apologies).
This skirt ends mid-knee and I was thinking that I would make a shorter version in the new silver yarn I got. Maybe add a slit in front, up one thigh. Or maybe one on each side. Hmmm. Well anyway, one thing is for sure, I can't wait to wear it whatever it is!
