cosmicpluto knits!

Congratulations on your great new skirt! I love the colour, it’s so rich. That’s a wonderful first crochet project.

It is beautiful! It doesn’t look like your first all-crochet project, the stitches all look very even and pretty Congrats!

This is BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Oooh, I like it! That’s definitely going on my list of “possible first crochet projects”.

I love it – great job for your first crochet project!

Wow, I love it!

Your first crochet project? it is WAY too beautiful to claim that I love it. Great fit too!

What a beautiful skirt. Practically everything you knit is among my favorites–makes me want to just follow in your footsteps.

Speaking of which, I knitted a beautiful “Thermal” sweater using Knitpicks gloss in burgundy. I just loved the yarn, but it doesn’t come in very many colors–in fact, no other colors I could wear. Now I’d like to make another Thermal, or at least a variation. Do you know of any other similar yarns (silk/wool blend, fingering weight) that might come in other shades and don’t cost the moon? (I’ve also fan-emailed Knitpicks urging them to produce gloss in more colors….)

Thank you!

This makes me think that possibly crocheting is not the demonic art that I’ve been assuming. I’m not ready to say that I want to crochet, but I do want one of these skirts! Great job.

Great job! I have to try it!! It looks so fab on you too!!

Looks awesome!

That’s gorgeous! It makes me want to learn to crochet, but I’ve already tried and given up twice.

lovely, lovely skirt! and the half-slip _is_ a beautiful thing. i know women are not into wearing ‘foundation’ garments much anymore, but i always find they smooth the lumps and bumps, if you know what i mean!

That really looks beautiful–sort of old-fashioned and hip at the same time. Great job! (Oh, and you might be interested–I would if it were me–I just finished your Vino sweater coat, which I love! I’ll be posting FO pictures tomorrow.)

wow, that’s your *first* crochet project? call me impressed. great looking skirt. how long did it take to make? i used to be strictly a knitter, but i’ve really warmed up to crochet this year, too.

This is an epic “first” project and incredibly lovely.

Love the skirt!! That skirt is definitely going on my very long “to do” list.

Beautiful! I’m working on my skirt and it’s so nice to see how good yours looks. I was wondering about the “flare” because the pic in the magazine doesn’t look as nice as yours.

So CUTE!

It looks great!

I think it came out very cute. It is very wearable, I mean, it looks perfectly done and has a designer flair. You should be proud to wear it.
Did you notice that it took a lot more yarn than knitting? That’s a drawback, but I think the firmer fabric is more suited to a skirt.

Wow, it looks great!

Ohh it’s so gorgeous.

Ho! This skirt is so great! She fits you so well! Wah wah wah … OK, I’m jalous!

beautiful skirt – I am always wanting to knit skirts, but I’d look pretty silly in them (even though I AM in los angeles…)

congrats – finishing things always makes me feel proud!

Lovely!

I *love* it! I liked it in the magazine, but your version…well it almost makes me want to learn to crochet. That is a very cute skirt.

Gorgeously flirty!

cutecutecute!!!! I want to make one!!!!

This skirt is seriously hot. I saw you wearing it on Wednesday at LK and I kept wanting to go over and fondle it, but I thought that might come across as a bit weirder than normal, even for me.

Your skirt to make me a new crocheter. Great fall color!

I love it! I will make a skirt at some point. Maybe this one!

Very nice!!! The colour is wonderfull and it’s fit really good on you!! Congratulations!!!!

you are amazing….ok, how do you knit so fast, your secret, please, and you have lots of other things going in life, wow. the skirt is beautiful!

WOW, that skirt makes me want to learn how to crochet!!

lovely!

Hi Laura!

I really like your new skirt!! The color is perfect for fall! I too have never done anything w/crochet other than an afghan, edging and flowers. Seeing your beautiful skirt makes me want to do something outside of my comfort zone…e.g. crocheting! I think I would have major questions about shaping w/crochet. Did you find the pattern easy to follow with your experience? I may have to pick up an issue of Knitscene.

Anywho, it looks great on you! I am amazed and inspired on how fast you get your projects done

Happy Knitting!

That skirt is gorgeous! That’s seriously makes me want to learn to crochet. Beautiful work.

If this is the skirt I’m thinking of I didn’t like it at all in the magazine. Your version, though, is really pretty. I love the color and the flare at the bottom.

I loved the skirt in the magazine, but haven’t gotten around to making it yet (I have 7 skeins of Silky Wool in probably the same color as your skirt). I’ll probably make the same thing. It’s good to see that it doesn’t really lose anything dumping the last bit of ruffle.

Love how the skirt looks! Does it grow or have bagging issues after a day’s wear?
