Two! Finished Projects!

Yes, you read that right!  I've actually finished two things!  (Insert Happy Dance here!!!)

First of all, I finished the Musselburgh hat I showed you last week.  This is such a great pattern because you don't have a huge cast on, you don't have to check your gauge, you just start knitting with a yarn and needles that work well together.  Then you fold the hat in half, stuffing one half into the other half (instant lining) and it's done.  It means knitting a fingering weight hat that is actually warm.  

See?  Here's what it looks like when the knitting is done.  Crazy, right?

I also finished a sewing project.  This is the Brumby Skirt, and I don't think this will be my last one.  I made it in a navy cotton with slubs running both ways in the weave.  If you zoom into the photo, you can see the lighter crosshatch in the fabric.

Also, did you see the pockets in this thing?  I think you could put kittens in these!  I made the medium length version with the pockets (the pattern has mini, knee, and midi length skirts).  I also used an invisible zipper instead of the exposed zip the pattern calls for.  I can definitely see doing this again, but I also think it would be cute with gathered tiers for a maxi skirt (still with the pockets of course)!
