Yet ANOTHER knit skirt

So this one is with cascade yarn. Quicker to knit because the waist is 133 stitches (not 166, and really next time I think I can get away with 125 stitches). And it doesn't widen out at the bottom like the others. The others I added a stitch slightly LESS than every row, and this one I added a stitch slightly MORE than every row. That makes this a straighter skirt. I'm not sure which cut I like better, but this one takes a lot less time to make (and less yarn).
Cascade takes a beating in order to felt, and even after boiling water and completely machine drying it's still not fully felted. But it's felted just the way I like it, and it's so convenient to get to fully machine dry a skirt (as opposed to taking forever to dry flat).




Had some spare yarn. Quick made up some arm warmers (as I recall, 22 stitches wide and sewn up the center)
