Spin A Yarn for Ewe

I told you I was going to start the Indigo Ripples Skirt and when I finally got the yarn I dove right in. I wanted to have it done by Saturday so I could take it for our ranch vacation. It would of been so cute for square dancing with some cowboy boots but I am not sure if that will happen. Here is the progress.



It is currently 10" long but needs to be about 16" before I can start the lace and that will end around 24" to allow for shrinkage. Then there is the super cute but takes forever (per others who have gone before me say) ruffle. I guess it is a good thing the cabin has a washer and dryer so that if I do finish it I can at least wash and dry it and maybe have a chance to wear it.

So far I have to say it is faster and easier then lace but the yarn can easily be snagged so you do have to watch out for that but I just love it even if it does turn you hands blue. The lace section is very straightforward so hopefully that will sail along too. I have even slipped it on carefully, while still on the needles, to see how the waist and hip size went. All looks good.

Here is too some speed knitting over the next two nights!
