Ta-dah! Finally, I can show you my new crochet skirt!
It took me a long time to make it. I believe I started it
back in November, and it took me several long months to complete it. The
memories associated with making this skirt are rainy winter mornings and
watching British mystery TV shows (Poirot, Miss Marple, Midsomer Murders).
After the first several rounds, it became the kind of project that your hands
are working and your mind is somewhere else.
I intended to make this skirt a bit longer, but those
stitches are tiny, and quite soon the rounds grew just endless. I do praise
myself for not giving it all up!
It looks great. A very nice pattern.

Hi Olga, It looks so pretty on you !! :) That's a lot of work with 1.25 mm hook and size ten thread. Does it have adjustable waist ?
ReplyDeleteThank you Preeti. Yes, it's adjustable. The waist is somewhat big, and I passed a cord, which I tie to adjust the skirt. So even if I gain a size or two, the skirt will still fit me.
DeleteThe skirt looks so beautiful.. What a lovely design! You did a wonderful job:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!! Looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful Olga, and with thread, it will probably be a little longer as the stitches relax a bit. I've made a dress and skirt for myself from thread and they both ended up longer than I had worked them from the weight of the thread and the stitches relaxing. You did a wonderful job, its lovely.
ReplyDeleteОльга, оригинальная и красивая юбка. Хорошо смотрится на Вас.
ReplyDeleteWonderful job! You have every right to be proud for not giving up!! A really lovely design.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day.
That is a truly wonderful skirt! Absolutely lovely in every way! Chrissie x
ReplyDeleteWow Olga, your skirt is stunning and looks fabulous on you. I think it is lovely at that length.

ReplyDeleteDearest Olga,
ReplyDeleteCongrats on following through with this fine needle of 1.25 mm! It looks fabulous and the way you show it YOU look fabulous too; like a runway fashion model.
When I was in my 20s and 30s I did crochet mini dresses (thank goodness there came an end to it sooner!).
Hugs to you,
Mariette
