A Classic V-Neck



I finally finished my Trillium sweater!


Next, of course, I had to find something to wear with it.  This taffeta skirt does not get much wear, so I thought I would pull it out of the closet.


Trillium is a really pleasant knit.  The stitch pattern is easy, but with enough texture that did not bore me to death as I was knitting away.  As much as I love a brainless stockinette or rib stitch (the perfect project while watching a movie) they do get a bit boring after a while.


And I am quite sure that I will be using this pattern again!


Last year's sewing was incredibly prolific, and I have been feeling rather lazy in comparison these last few months.  But I am spending much more time with my knitting needles, so although the finished projects are not coming as often, I am enjoying the process.  Which is, perhaps, more important than new dresses!




Sweater:  Made by me, “Trillium” from Rowan Knitting Magazine
