    Hello everyone! I haven't been around much lately because I've been pretty absorbed in a massive knitting project (when you look at the pic you'll understand. he he he). This is the biggest creations I've whipped out to date. This is the first part of the festival outfit that has been keeping so busy. It took 5 and a half large balls of yarn and many, many hours. lol
    This wonderful spinny skirt is 38" long with a spin of 148". The waist is fully adjustable so that it will fit a sizes extra small (pictured) to large. It is entirely vegan and the skirt drapes and spins like a dream.

    Here's a close up pic of the yarn:

    I'd appreciate any feedback that you all can give me.
    Cheers!
