…comes the Indigo Ripples Skirt!

Please pardon the wonky angle. Last fall, I had gotten to the lace portion of the skirt, then I put it in hibernation because fall came and…you know how it goes…

Fast forward to April, I saw that the lace portion had all twisted stitches. so I frogged it. These past few weeks, I’ve been doing what seems like endless stockinette. Finally I started the lace on Sunday.

In September I wondered what the difference was between a slip1/k2tog/psso and a sssk. A majority of folks on Ravelry have said that they’ve opted for the sssk’s and I’ve wondered why. I did some investigating and did one repeat with slip1/k2tog/psso and the others with sssk’s:

If you squint you can see a difference between the two. I made my decision too. I tend to prefer the SSSK’s because there is more fluidity in the decrease. With Sl1/K2tog/Pssso, I see a slight drape in the slipped stitch and I don’t particularly care for it.

I am very happy with how this skirt is progressing and hope to wear it to Jermaine’s GRADUATION on May 10th!!!
