Moving at the speed of a sun-stroked tortoise, I’ve entered the final third phase of my Ribby Shell I. The pattern is written and I just need to finish the samples. (My pesky day job is just squeezing the life out of my knitting calendar – 6 day weeks, 12 hour days, who can knit?! When I was making the Sitcom Chic design, I clocked my time at over 50 hours of labor to design the pattern, write up all the sizes and knit the sample. WHEW! I need some elves…)
The *Teresa* yarn by Vittadini is just luscious! Even the other riders on the #66 agree – it always elicits comments from my busmates pals.
It is so sophisticated, people don’t assume I’m making something for a baby – which on the #66 is the usual comment because knitting is so extint in most parts, the only time anyone sees anything handknit is on an infant.
Mais ce n’est aucun chandail de b
The linen flounce skirt would be adorable with your new tank. It is flirty and feminine.
Bonne,
If you are entertaining recommendations; #2 The Flounce skirt. Oh my Gawd! You would look so cute/sophisticated. And what a charming way to set off the lovely ribby shell.
That flounce skirt is my FAVE! too – I hope they still have it at the MichAve store…
one more vote for the flounce!
Gotta say that flounce skirt is a classic and very flattering, too!
I say Flounce! It’s cute and can be as casual or other, as you prefer. And on those “reliving the punk years’, perhaps it will even go with combat boots and a ripped t! teehehe
Hey Kim! How did you know I had on my Doc Marten’s today?!
I’m so glad you’ve decided to offer personal shopping services as well as knitting inspiration and patterns! All of those skirts are exactly what I’ve been wanting lately, so now all I have to do is pick one and order it…
And while you’re at it, please pick up something for yourself. I vote for the flouncy one.
Crinkle or flounce. That’s my vote. Teresa looks like wonderful yarn. I wonder if Tangled Web carries some…..
Flounce or crinkle!
Ooooh Flouncy or Crinkle! Why not both?
:)
Even with that crazy work schedule you are still so prolific! I’m always amazed. But yeah, some elves would be good.
I like each of the linen contenders. Have fun choosing one (or two) :)
Flounce all the way
Get them all and knit more sweaters to match.
My vote is for the flouncy one as well. The crinkle pleated skirt, imnsho, does not look good for anyone with hips, but I can’t speak to your body shape. Just really thinking about mine! The Ribby Shell is lookin’ good!
the tweedy one #3 is so cute though! and it can take you through summer and into fall! i want one too now…
Loving that flounce. I looooove linen, I’ve picked up a lime green linen tunic and khaki linen drawstring pants.
I just finished a tank using Vittadini Teresa in dark yellow. You’re right about it being luscious and incredible to work with!
My vote’s for the flounce skirt, btw.
