« Shoes that hurt with a brand new skirt | Main | Weekend antics »
It was rainy most of this morning so I thought I'd only have crappy indoor shots to show you.
Or pictures of the piece being blocked
A closeup of the waistband facing might be interesting
But we got a bit of sun and I was able to take some better shots.
With a little help from my friends

Fantastic! I love the crochet and knitting combo! Any chance you'll be publishing the pattern?

As one overpublicized socialite would say, "That's hot!"

How pretty it looks on you! And little Thea making sure she is front and center in every shot she could get into. ;-)

I love the skirt. It has a definite vintage feel. As do the shoes! Who cares if shoes that cute hurt?

That came out really cute! And I love, love, love your pooches in all the pictures, they seem like such sweeties.

The skirt looks really terrific! I especially love how it has a slim, tailored look without being clingy - do you suppose that's mostly due to the quality of the yarn (maybe not so springy?) or the stitch pattern (biases of the herringbone?) or the skirt shaping (smart increases/decreases?)?
In any case, it's FABULOUS!

You are a knitting goddess, truly! I adore it and can only hope one day to be able to produce such a stunning item. I started reading your blog for the craft component, but now I check frequently to see if there are new dog photos! Your black-and-white girls are too much (they remind me of my Tallulah Mae). Knitting and dogs--what more could one ask for?

Oh it turned out beautifully! Not that I had any doubts, but considering the, um, speedbump along the way - it's just gorgeous! Nice to see Thea posing with a FINISHED skirt this time! ;)

Wow Marnie, that skirt is gorgeous!! Somehow in all your earlier pictures, I couldn't grasp the scale of it -- I thought the medallions were tiny little things. But now that I can see how big they are, and how the whole thing comes together, I love it!

Lovely! Mum asked if you're not a Supermodel already!
Love the first photo where Thea stuck her face into the shot too :)
We think you did very well with the skirt - despite the "accident" mid-way. Turned our really well!

Very, very flattering. You have just the perfect shaping for it. Wear it with pride and style my dear.

You really work that skirt, it is very flattering on you. Did you make it straight up and down or is there a bit of pencil shaping to it? Either way, congrats!

It looks WONDERFUL. I admit, I wasn't sure what I thought, watching the medallions appear, but, yeah . . . that looks just fabulous. Love the shoes, too.

I love it! Sort of reminds me of a mermaids tail at the end (in the last picture especially).
