Pattern No.1

 No more work done on the house I am afraid. However I have not  been lazing around and have been preparing a knitting pattern as promised. So the first is now ready to post. I have done the pattern for the ruffled skirt for you all to try and the link to the pdf file is on the page entitled Mini Knitting patterns. My next learning curve will be to add the proper Adobe widget to replace my amateurish link. Hope it works as planned. Keep me posted if you have access problems

I took some photos while the work was in progress

The first step is to knit the ruffle

Casting on the stitches for the skirt across the top of the ruffle

Skirt completed. Ready to make up.

Now for a little, lacy top to go with it so I can take a photo of the completed skirt. After  that I will get on to preparing the pattern for the ruffled jacket. I will be back in a couple of days I hope, with the pattern for the lacy top and the photo.
