Indigo Ripples Skirt

I finally finished this damn skirt. It was my first time working a lace pattern, therefore are a ton of mistakes. I’ve learned that I do not like knitting lace. I didn’t know I was making mistakes until about 10 rows later, and there was no way I was going to rip it and start over! I got really frustrated and put my needles down for about 3 weeks. Finally I just made myself finish it so I could move on to the next project requiring the needles this skirt was on. So without further ado here is my Indigo Ripples Skirt:

All in all, I really like this skirt, but would never knit it again. It’s really comfortable and airy. I wore it out yesterday in 90 degree weather and felt fine in it.

Intolerable Cruelty

I love love love this skirt! After 6 hand numbing weeks, I finished Intolerable Cruelty by Ashley Moncrief from knitty.com. It was my first clothing piece, and first time knitting in the round. It was a good learning experience for me. Here are some pics of my FO:
