This skirt is both sexy and comfortable to wear. Knit in the round from the waistband down, it is quick to knit with minimal finishing. The decorative star patterns separating the panels are extrapolated from the star stitch border, and sneakily hide the increases for a smooth line.

These gloves feature an eyelet pattern that wraps around the wrist and palm and finishes coyly twined around the index finger.  The gloves can be worn on either hand, but spiral in opposite directions.

Knit in a soft organic wool, the slip stitch color-work pattern in these mitts has the beneficial side effect of creating a thick, warm fabric.  A slipped rib in the main color borders the houndstooth pattern, which is made by knitting two-round stripes of each color, slipping some stitches from the previous row.  This is color-work at its simplest, and the mitts are a small enough project to make a stack of them for gifts, playing with different color combinations and keeping you
