The Ogee Lace Skirt
This is one of the projects I have no WIP pictures of at all. While I was knitting on the spiral boot socks from Interweave Knits summer number my daughter found the pictures of the Ogee lace skirt in it. I had some Rowan Linen Drape yarn that I found somewhat suitable, if I went down in needle size. Hanna is smaller than the smallest size, but on the other hand, Linen Drape is thinner than the suggested Rowan Bamboo Tape. I could even had gone down one size more, the blocking of the skirt made it bigger than I had calculated. But all in all I think it turned out pretty ok, and Hanna is pleased. The pattern was fun to knit, and not difficult at all.
Project details:
Pattern: Ogee Lace Skirt by Gryphon Perkins for Interweave Knits Summer 2007.
Yarn: Rowan Drape, 3 and a half ball.
Needles: 6 mm, 5,5 for the I-cords (I didn’t have 6mm dpns)

The skirt is lovely as are the Chalet socks.
I think I may have to find a nice yarn and try my hand at the skirt. It certainly covers more than my current beach wrap.

Very, very pretty, Maud. What a lovely gift for Hanna from her beloved mama. Maud, I will keep you updated on George's situation, and I'll be sure to share the finished pottery, too. The children are so excited about what they've made. They'll be *over the moon with delight* when all is said and done and they can *use them*. I am sending love and a big gentle hug along to you across the miles, my precious friend ((Maud))

That is GORGEOUS. I love the leafy lace pattern and the way your daughter is wearing it. Any chance of her having a future in fashion? :-)
