A beautiful skirt to knit. Yes, knit.

The new knitty is out! I’m so excited I see several things I will have to knit, but I got stuck when I saw the Noro Kureyon skirt. I immediately ran to my stash and picked out uhm…..some colors. I’m going to need (6) balls to knit my size. Tell me what you think! I think I’ve settled on #196. I’ve already taken it out of inventory.

Tina Whitmore, the lead designer and genius behind Knitwhits, assures us that this skirt will not get a booty in it. I think the fact that the skirt is wool and knitted on the bias will definitely contribute to this very perfect result. I sit on said booty all day in front of the computer, so this skirt should suit me just fine. She says it’s a quick knit, too. I don’t know about you, but knitting with Kureyon, I don’t get bored.

Here is the piece de resistance!

I did cast on the lace border pullover with Sublime. It’s worked from the top down. I’m 4 rows from the armholes! I also have another project that I’m expecting from Norah Gaughan at Berroco tomorrow morning. A scarf, due at the end of August. Stay tuned for a photo or two of the lace border pullover.
