March, 2006: This Veronique Avery’s “Shocking” skirt. I began in a white heat over spring break and quickly realized that knitting with this acrylic yarn hurt my hands. So I stopped.

The difference between these two statements is that this time I’m done for good!
But I did want to show you how great this pattern is before it’s gone forever…
Well, where’d you come from?
Fine, battle it out between yourselves.
So since the picture-taking endeavor went so poorly, I thought I’d head out to the ‘Merc and pick up some wool for this skirt at their annual 25-40% off wool sale.

Bummer on the “thwarted-ness,” but at least the kitties are darn cute and the snow is beautiful.

The skirt really does look lovely. But yeah, acrylic yarn sucks. I don’t blame you.

Yup, you’re right. Your part of the world looks vastly different from mine, and I can’t say I’m particularly jealous - teehee. Sorry about the skirt but it obviously was not meant to be.
