Swirly Skirt

This was a test pattern I finished in mid-July.  The pattern has gone live and so I am sharing this project now.  I believe there is currently a sale on the pattern, but I am not sure if it will still be on when this is posted.

I made my skirt with a 24” waist. I did four total repeats of the pattern to make a flirty, mini skirt that rides low on the hips of my model here. I used a ww yarn I had in stock. I used just over 5 ounces of the yarn, which was approximately 272 yards.  This was quickly whipped up with a K (6.5 mm) hook.

Test Blanket

I tested this blanket for a pattern writer at the beginning of July.  The pattern goes live in August and as soon as it does, I will link it here.  My picture seems a little wonky and I need to block the blanket still, but I really liked this pattern.  Click here to see the designer's currently available patterns.

There were a total of three designs with either two or three colors that could be used to make the blanket.  I made the third of the three designs.  This blanket ended up being more lapghan or baby blanket size.  It used a J hook (6.0 mm).  I used a two yarns.  For color A- I used approximately 562 yards or 11.23 oz of ww yarn.  For color B- I used approximately 735 yards or 14.7 oz of ww yarn.

The blanket is made up of squares, though they appear more diamond like in my picture.
