Notes

I enjoyed making my first skirt.
Wow, A knitted skirt is so comfy! I’ll definitely knit more skirts.

From the half way of the project, I turned it inside out after W&T, and worked only WS (mainly st st) to protect my wrist, whcih started crying. I sped up a lot.
I should’ve done this from the begining of the body.

Waistband:

  • Cable CO 28sts on jp#5. Slip the 1st. st of every row.
  • 192 rows=70cm.

Body:

  • Pick up 192sts (192/6(multiple of)=32)
  • 4cm before 1st inc.
  • Use ptbl method for inc.
  • Did Inc Rnd 1&2, and work p3.ktbl,p3 till 42cm from top. Then, did ptbl every 8 divides. Less flared.
  • Used black yarn for the last 2rnds and BO.
  • BO in patt purlwise

21/02…I tried it on again and the length seems alright to me:D happier now!
16/02…After all I’d like to make it longer, so I have to be patient till the day I get the yarn….can’t wait!!!
15/02…Oh, my! Running out of yarn (I could expect it happenning) ;(
Wanted to have the length long enough to hide my knees.
I decided to do water blocking to see how far that can stretch. Wow, it’s stretching a lot, reaching about 57cm!! I don’t have to order another skein, hopefully.

パターン通り増やし目してからさらに10cmほど編み進めて、またまたいつもの悪癖がふつふつ。いいのかこれで?ちょっと末広がりすぎかも…っで15センチ解きました(12/02)
増し目段は4回から2回にしてラインを少しすっきりさせる。(P3,ktbl,P3)
ついでに、裏編みが手首にこたえるので、W&Tを1回して、ひっくり返し裏側を見て編むことに。スピードアップ!

欲しい丈まで果たして糸が足りるのでしょうか。
行けるところまで行ってみたいと思います。
