Notes

Dagmar handpainted this yarn for me in 2007 and I made this skirt on my knitting machine.
The skirt was knitted sideways with tucks in dark brown. The waistline was knit like a tunnel and an elastic band put through.
When I opened a drawer of my chest I found the skirt I thought I had lost anywhere years ago. It has been fallen behind the chest and stuck so it could not be seen. When I put the drawer out to repair the handle I found the skirt.
Unfortunately I had grown out because I lost more than 30 kilograms.
When I put another elastic band through the tunnel it not only was bulky but the skirt has grown too long. So I put the waistband off and crocheted slip stitches with elastic thread 1/2 cm below the top selvage.
You don’t notice this looking from the right side and it fits perfectly.
