My Very First Knitted Skirt

I've finished it!  The knitted skirt is done!  My very first knitted skirt!  Knitting whilst watching the Ryder Cup on television meant that the skirt was completed in no time.  And here it is...

I haven't blocked it yet, and I didn't have the correct width of elastic for the waistband so it has some narrower elastic in it as a temporary measure, but I couldn't wait to show it to you.

The waistband is so neat, and after the initial sizing error, on my part, the fit is perfect.

Eve and I are off into Liverpool today to do some last minute shopping before she goes back to Cambridge, so I'll pick up some elastic while I'm out.

I'll make sure she takes some photos of me wearing it before she goes away.  I'll also let you have full details of the yarn I used and the pattern.  Until then, I'm off to shop 'til I drop!
