I was so excited to show you – please excuse the mess in the background and the bit o’ belly!
The waistband was surprisingly painless – I roughly pinned the top edge leaving enough space for the elastic, then slip stitched it using Koigu. Then I shoved the elastic in using a safety pin (middle school family studies, you taught me well), sewed the ends together, and closed up the hole. There’s a bit of wonkiness in some of the hexagons – needs to be slightly reblocked.
Yayyyy!!! Better pictures soon, I promise!

Great work!!!
2 Thanks for the preview – looks wonderful right now, even if you don’t get around to taking better pictures .
3 That looks fabulous. Congrats on a stunning piece.
4 Better Pictures? Those are GORGEOUS! I love the skirt, and you’ve inspired me to make it (right after I make your cardigan). I love finding creative uses for Koigu. Is that the pattern from the last issue of Vogue, or did you make it up yourself?
5 That is so cool! I was having a hard time visualizing what it was going to look like, but I really like it.
6 Oh wow! It looks fantastic! Well done you.
7 Yay!! I’m so pleased to see how this has come out – it’s gorgeous.
8 It’s really gorgeous! It looks so much prettier – and more wearable – than the one in the magazine. Great work!

23 It looks just great!
24 It’s fabulous! The picture of the full length one in VK was kind of scary but your mini skirt version is great. I’m tempted to make myself one.

Wow — the skirt is gorgeous. I have never been tempted to knit a skirt before because the patterns I see always look a little “grandmaish/too homemadeish”, but your version is awesome. Too cute!
26 What can I say? Gorgeous!
27 It looks wonderful! How does it feel?
28 That is one HOT skirt! Way to go, I am inspired to make one for myself. It looks like an A-line — is that true or is it more straight? I have a small waist but big hips — A-lines look great on me but straights are B-A-D.
29 It looks fantastic! What a great version of the skirt.
30 STUNNING!!! I want to cast on. Congratulations on a job well done.
31 Wowza. Looks awesome Laura.
32 woohoo!!!!! it looks so good on you! great job!
33 looks fantastic!
34 Supercute! I didn’t realize you were making a shorter version so I thought you had a lot more to do and then, voilà, it’s done and it looks great!
35 Really, really cute! The length and everything looks perfect. Nice job!
36 wonderful job on that skirt! i would’ve been so intimidated by all the ends to weave in. really v. cool.
37 Love the skirt, it looks awesome!
38 Wow… The skirt looks amazing. I really loved the skirt in the vogue, but I may even like yours better.
Great Job!
39 i think it looks brilliant on you! great FO!
40 Wow!! Your skirt is just beautiful. It looks so cute on.

wicked cool skirt Laura! Nice work.
ps. am I EVER going to see you again?? I suggest a holiday no-school knitting party.
42 Koigu love. Mmmm. And that safety pin technique has to be one of the most useful things I learned in school.
43 Love the skirt and I second Johanna’s comment. See you tomorrow for lunch!
44 SuzukoDecember 7, 2005
Holy WOW! I have your blog in my favorites list (for the obvious reasons)..You are the knitting QUEEN! I think I stop by everyday just to see your progress on all of the awesome things you knit. You are my knitting HERO!
45 The skirt looks great!
46 That is fantastic. You took a pattern I had extreme doubts about and turned it into something spectacular.
47 Gorgeous! Gorgeous! Gorgeous!
48 Great job. It’s gorgeous and it’s unusual. Love it!
49 FABULOUS! When the page first loaded I immediately thought “WOW, love that!”
