Angled pockets skirt

I found this pattern on Pinterest:

It's a perfect patten for reflective piping! And it has huge deep pockets!


Made this skirt tonight quick after work for a coworker who gave me the cutest hedgehog nightlight

Green / grey knitted skirt

Another one! These skirts take me 10-14 days to make.
This one is a bit different because I felted it a bit.
It's 166 stitches across, add a stitch slightly less than every row, 105 rows. Each color band is 5 rows. Do perling on the last band to keep it from rolling. 4.50mm needles
I used 4 skeins of Malabrigo worsted wool (more like 1.5 skeins of each color)

Another pair of Jammie's


Unfortunately these were tougher to make than the blue striped pair. I love this fabric so much more, and got it at beloved Treadle. But it doesn't hang as easily. Anyway, I still like it  :)
