I’m not especially interested in knitting pants for myself, Pixie, but I’m very curious to see how yours turn out! Looks like a lot of knitting…but not too tricky, so maybe it’s ideal for those times when you want to knit without having to check a pattern or chart every row.

The Witches Britches in this book are on my “to knit” list!

Katie J: It’s funny, isn’t it, how “it’s only $5.50″ somehow trumps “there’s a limited number of space in my house.” At $5.50, that book can probably bend space to make a place for itself.

Cam: Thanks for the tips! The more I think about it, the more I like the look of that skirt. When I’m ready to make one for myself, I’ll definitely check back in with you for suggestions.

Hi,
In response to the Linen Kilt, I love the pattern. It was a lot of knitting, but well worth it. I made a change to the ribbing at the hip - to garter stitch rib because the plain ribbing was stretching out too much. I also had to do a little shaping from the hip to the waist for the same reason. It is a very attractive skirt, easy to wear and I’ve gotten many compliments on it.

Thanks for the review Marsha. I may go ahead and purchase. As I remember, I liked the book as well, but understand that I can’t actually own all knitting books. But at $5.50? I could own that one.
