New project

A new tradition among my knitting friends is for the birthday girl to pick a pattern for something she'd love to knit for herself, and we all pitch in and buy the yarn for her. My friend Kristen picked the slouchy cardigan from the book, Greetings from Knit Café, and knit it up in a sumptuous red wool/silk blend. Gorgeous! Anyway, for my birthday present I picked the lacy skirt from that same book, and here is the yarn I picked out: a multi-colored linen. I won't be able to start the skirt in earnest until I finish knitting all my Christmas gifts, but just having it around is delish!
