Ready To Wear - Tomorrow

Tink's Twirly Skirt is finished! 

 

I had said earlier that there were many many stitches in the final tier.  But just how many I didn't  realize until cast-off time.  Wow!  Lots of stitches at the hem.

But they are cast off now, and Twirly is on the blocking board.  Both top and bottom have limited ribbing - the bottom only one row, the top a couple more.  On the needles, they both curl like crazy so I am hoping the severe steaming will stop that.

The pattern calls for an I Cord tie.  Instead - and in a hurry to have it ready for tomorrow - I  have some twill tape that I will substitute.  A flatter cord across my belly seems a better idea anyway. I also intend to sew in some elastic - just to make sure the waist stays at the waist.
