a us 3 woodens then switched to addi lace needles for the lace section they helped a lot with the k3tog i decided to go ahead and do those even though i know there were other options i started the second size got about 2 3 inches into it tried it on and it was too big so i went to the smallest size i think it s because cotton expands on you geeta it s almost a royal blue the only thing about the cotlin is that it kind of sheds not bad but you will have fibers all over you when you put your knitting down i m not sure when i will get to the next one but it will be soon posted by tammy at 8 19 2007 02 12 00 pm 5 comments monday august 13 2007 finally getting to my skirt i love this pattern i started it thursday morning and am about half way through the lace section now i am really motivated to get it done by friday and start a second one before then as well i am doing this one in knit picks cot lin and have used 4 or 5 balls so far this is the nightshade colorway and i just received the royal plum color in today s mail posted by tammy at 8 13 2007 07 30 00 pm 3 comments friday july 27 2007 a close up of lace and definition of sssk sssk slip 3 stitches knit wise from left needle to right needle and then knit all three sitches together through the back loops this can be a bit tight click on this link to see a video illustration of ssk you ll just add another stitch to this http www knittinghelp com knitting videos decrease ssk english rds mpg finally thanks for the comments i truly appreciate them happy stitching posted by coolknitchick at 7 27 2007 04 43 00 pm no comments wednesday july 25 2007 mother nature is so sweet she patiently waited until i finished indigo ripples before sending along the perfect weather to wear it in yarn reynolds soft linen 50 gr 94 yds 86m not quite 7 skeins 53 flax 47 acylic easy to care for color 0404 a golden color with just a hint of chartreuse needles addi turbo size 5 24 circular this was a pleasure to knit thanks in part to all who contribute to this blog your input urged me to knit this and your sugessted changes guided me down my own path of perfection so without further adieu the following are the modifications i made i think you ll recognize most of them needle size suggested needle size 6 gave me stitches that were not quite tight enough so i took it down a size the guage wasn t perfect but it was close enough the stockinette portion of this skirt is about 15 the length the pattern suggested was too racey for the polished boston ip firm that greatly contributes to the support of my fiber addiction the lace section is worked using only the first 40 rows which perfectly complimented the length of stockinette and allows the hem to just flirt with bottom of my knee also in the lace section as so many have suggested i used the sssk instead of sl 1 k2tog psso in the ruffle section i substituted knit rounds rows 1 and 11 instead of purl rounds finally i elected to do a traditional bind off as the release date of harry potter loomed close by posted by coolknitchick at 7 25 2007 05 48 00 pm 5 comments monday july 23 2007 the stockinette portion hey there ladies and gents i m through with the increasing and now just workin on the stockinette portion i m going to do that until it flirts with my knees like most i d like the skirt to be a little bit longer any suggestions on making the stockinette part flyyyyyyyyyyyy by i m taking a road trip from dc to sc with my old man so that ll be good but just wonderin what ya ll did my boyfriend and i have gotten hooked on lost too so we spent a weekend in watching season one since you really need to concentrate during that show stockinette was preferable thanks laura posted by laura at 7 23 2007 10 45 00 am no comments wednesday july 18 2007 just in time for lake placid here is my finished skirt and here s a closeup shot i love it and it ll look perfect on me while i am in lake placid this weekend i ll have to save it and wear it on monday so that even though i ll feel horrible after doing ironman at least i ll look super cute more details on my blog posted by stephanie at 7 18 2007 05 20 00 am 3 comments saturday july 14 2007 saturday july 14 2005 i finished my skirt here r some pics posted by karenposniak mac com at 7 14 2007 06 29 00 pm 1 comment friday july 13 2007 almost there i am row 10 of the ruffle yippee this dang ruffle has taken forever i especially didn t enjoy the k2tog 6x yo k1 6x rows and i m not looking forward to the bind off either because i ve read that it takes forever as well what s the difference between a regular bind off and the bind off the pattern calls for i think i read where someone used a regular bind off and it worked fine what is the advantage of doing the other one posted by stephanie at 7 13 2007 06 24 00 am 2 comments monday july 9 2007 another new joiner i just found this group through teri s blog i saw this skirt in person a couple of weeks ago at the black sheep gathering in eugene oregon oh my goodness it was cute i have since then gotten to know the gal who was wearing it and got some ideas from her on what would work for me i will be using cotlin from knitpicks once it is back in stock my 13 yod now wants one as well so i see two of these being knit up as quickly as possible this summer thanks for letting me join in the fun posted by tammy at 7 09 2007 08 23 00 am no comments friday july 6 2007 cotton fleece thank you everyone for responding to my post i got some 29 inch size 6 s and anticipate getting bigger ones question anyone using cotton fleece i am i m using jungle green and am very excited about it but i know that their dyelots can vary a lot does anyone know how i can get one of a specific dyelot or is that close to impossible welcome newcomers laura posted by laura at 7 06 2007 06 06 00 pm 1 comment just started hi everyone i just started my indigo ripples skirt and i am using rowan denim nashville i am really excited with the progress but my fingers are quite blue i am about 20 or so rows in i love the different colors people have chosen keep up the great work posted by two sticks and yarn at 7 06 2007 07 34 00 am 1 comment joining in hi i ve been lurking and reading for a while thought i would join in no pics right now i am on the last purl round of the lace right before the bo i am using cotton ease in the charcoal color and doing the smallest size on size 4 s i did my own mods also for the same reasons as all ya ll thanks for all the info i have been doing mine on two circulars got tired of threading waste yarn through to try it on i thought i was okay on the size and did try it on as i went but it seems bigger around than what i would like but i can live with it i spread my increases out too far i think this cotton ease seems heavy now with all this length i think i might do another in the real denim ecru and be more careful in my increases love how those have turned out i will post a pic if i can get a decent one posted by anonymous at 7 06 2007 04 06 00 am 1 comment thursday july 5 2007 finished unfortunately the only camera i have access to right now is the isight on my work computer which isn t a particularly good camera i had a terrible time getting a decent pic had to stand on my desk chair regardless the skirt is finished i love it and you ll have to take my word for it that it looks far better in real life than in this picture as i mentioned in my last post i had to buy another ball of yarn to complete the skirt i ran out during the bind off round the new ball different dye lot was darker but not too noticeable on the bind off i could definitely see the difference in the drawstring though however it came out of the washer and dryer matching the rest of the skirt yay even in full sunlight i can t tell the difference i have the full list of my mods and other impressions on my blog i ll definitely be making more skirts in the future unless this does that saggy bum thing and then all bets are off posted by amanda at 7 05 2007 09 34 00 am 1 comment tuesday july 3 2007 greetings from a new member with some questions hello my name is laura and i just casted on the indigo ripples skirt two nights ago and i m thrilled to have joined this group my blog is at this link i have a few questions for ya and hope you can help 1 is anyone using cotton fleece how s that coming 2 i m using size 6 needles and it s working fine but is it the end of the world if i dont have a 29 inch one i know eventually it might get to be a pain but is the skirt affected if you dont use 29 inch ones 3 on round 1 there s an increase round then you do seed stich for three rows then you do another increase round i do not understand how you get four increased stitches from this round i seem to only get two can someone help me out is it worked over two rounds thanks laura posted by laura at 7 03 2007 11 27 00 am 5 comments sunday july 1 2007 you have got to be kidding me so i haven t had this happen in years but i sigh ran out of yarn on the bind off round those of you who haven t gotten to it yet make sure to allocate more than a full ball of yarn for that ruffle if you re using rowan denim that thing is a yarn eating monster i m kicking myself for not knowing better i knew it would be close but i thought i d squeak by so there are two lys open today in my neck of the woods that carry rowan not sure if they stock denim much less my dye lot so i ll be hitting those up before starting to search on the web i initially bought the yarn from webs but they re out of stock wish me luck there s no way i m ripping back and removing rows in order to avoid buying more yarn like i said that ruffle is a monster eta one of my lys had rowan denim in stock in my color but not my dye lot i brought a scrap with me to compare the two in natural light and while it isn t an exact match it s very close it s just ever so slightly darker the tone is the same given that the yarn fades with washing and bleeds all over the place i bought a ball and i ll be keeping my fingers crossed that it won t be too obvious i think i may improvise a little clutch out of the leftovers for a friend posted by amanda at 7 01 2007 09 37 00 am 4 comments wednesday june 27 2007 hello i m new to this kal so i just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself i just cast on for this skirt earlier this evening tried it on after 4 rounds and found it was too big i ve ripped everything out and am going with the smaller size i am a bit scared of knitted skirts but after seeing so many cute indigo ripples out there i thought i d take a shot at it i m using rowan denim in the memphis color medium blue my goal is to have it done by july 17th we ve leaving for lake placid ny on the 18th so i can do ironman usa on the 22nd lake placid seems like such a cute little town that i thought i needed a cute skirt to walk around in hopefully being a part of this kal will help me meet that deadline anyway just wanted to say hi i ll post my progress as time goes on posted by stephanie at 6 27 2007 08 48 00 pm 2 comments saturday june 23 2007 getting ready i m dying to knit this skirt but i have another project on my 6 circulars right now so it is going to have to wait i do have the yarn ready though knit one crochet too 2nd time cotton in artichoke 534 the yarn is a little more green than in the photos exactly what i had in mind blog posts here posted by tracing at 6 23 2007 08 28 00 am 1 comment thursday june 14 2007 i finally finished after putting the needles down for nearly 3 weeks i got off my butt and finished the darn thing more details in my nitting ninja blog posted by kitschkween at 6 14 2007 10 59 00 am 4 comments monday june 11 2007 c est fini it s done sorry that i don t have a modelled shot my skinny friend and i are nowhere near the same size here s a close up of the lace colour is more accurate in the first picture and here are the stats yarn lana knits allhemp3 fingering weight 5 skeins in deep ocean that s only 30 cdn for yarn needles no name 2 75mm circs for the stockinette portion and 3 0mm addi lace circs for lace section mods sssk mirrored decrease m1l increase in rnd 25 modified the increase rate to accomodate the difference in row gauge but kept the number of sts increased identical to the pattern knit the largest size in the pattern for a 28 waist finished size stockinette portion is 13 long and overall length is 21 crocheted chain using 4 strands instead of i cord for the waist tie things i learned you can t do i cord using a non stretchy yarn you must wash and block hemp to get the right gauge if you re using hemp for lace use the pointy est needles if i make this again i would use a longer circ i love the hemp it can be tricky to work with but the end result is breathtaking the drape is incredible and the resulting fabric is incredibly soft plus it s machine wash dry i look forward to seeing more finished skirts posted by dotty at 6 11 2007 02 49 00 pm 4 comments saturday june 9 2007 off to a late start i joined this kal awhile ago but had a couple other things ahead of it in the queue i finally managed to start knitting this today i m using rowan denim in nashville that dark dark blue and us 5 needles like everyone else i was wowed by eunny s finished skirt i decided to try my hand at modifying the fit of the skirt i won t get into the exact way i m going about it but the end result i hope is that instead of hitting at my waist the top of the skirt will sit a couple inches lower low waist or high hip i really can t stand having anything tight around my stomach no pics yet but i ve got about 3 5 4 inches done one ball of denim and tons of blue dye on my hands posted by amanda at 6 09 2007 11 10 00 pm 3 comments finito finished just in time to greet our first wave of summer visitors which starts monday i might be able to get some better pics but this was it for now the hubby is working long hours so it s dark by the time he gets home i did draft my 3 5 year old for a pic it s surprisingly good it ll be on my blog soon but didn t really show the skirt the pre blocking picture scared me but after a good washing and some pins i am pleased with the shape i can t wait to see how it wears so final specs yarn brown sheep cotton fleece color wolverine mods used the sssk mirror decrease worked 50 rows of the lace pattern rather than 60 made the stockinette stitch panel longer and crocheted a tie rather than using the i cord good luck fellow ripplers i can t wait to see all the finished skirts posted by wishful knitting at 6 09 2007 02 23 00 pm 3 comments friday june 8 2007 almost done i am on row 57 and every row has 288 sts in it can you believe it if i never knit another fingering weight skirt it will be too soon what was i thinking when i started this i blame it on the hemp i wanted to use it sooooo badly but i am very pleased with the results and here s a close up of the lace can you see the m1l increase that i used if you look closely you should be able to spot it i hope ...
