I started this skirt as a Christmas present for a friend of mine. So, um. Merry Christmas!
Anyway, I finally got the ambition/buttons to finish it and sewed them on this weekend. The pattern is Carnaby from Knitty and I would happily make it again. Mindless enough to do without thinking too hard (don’t have to carry the pattern around). Knit until it fits. The hardest part was tracking my friend down to do occasional fittings. Anyway, I’ll try to get her to model it for a better picture. The yarn is Lion Brand Woolease.
Funny thing: The buttons are Buffalo Nickels. Made in Italy.

Oh I love that! And you made it for a friend? Lucky friend. I make things that start out being for me and end up being given to friends when I’m done because they seem to have their names on them, but I never start out that generously!
