I have, yet again, been humbled by DPNs. Maybe one day we'll become friends. 😅

Sewing up the pleats on my skirt.

Cute little seed stitch detail on the hem. Such a nice way to add a bit of detail to the skirt without taking away from the star of the show: the box pleats!

Rewind ⏪⏪⏪.

A look at the Hesperos mini skirt before sewing together the pleats. It was such a fun experience testing for @timethatisgivenus. Taking feedback from the group, she offered an alternate method for sewing the pleats, that was super clear and worked really well!

Now available on Ravelry the Hesperos Mini Skirt!

A little sneak peek of my (almost) completed test knit. I was *this* close to making the deadline, but went to two shops and couldn't find an elastic to finish the waistband.

Even before a proper block and finishing, this skirt is already so gorgeous!

Thank you @timethatisgivenus for such a fun test knit, and what will certainly be a wardrobe stable!

Getting out of my comfort zone and trying new techniques (making box pleats) with this test knit! With the blessing of the amazing designer decided to cast on a parallel set of live stitches at the start of the pleat, to hopefully make it a bit easier to sew them up at the end. 🤞

Working hard on this Labour Day long weekend!

Really getting into the swing of things on my Hesperos Mini Skirt test knit. Just a few more rows before tackling *the pleats*.

Extra long weekend vibes. I'm going to miss my bonus days off before a stat holiday after the summer.

Happy Labour Day!

Waistband finished. On to the crowning jewels of this skirt: the knit box pleats!

The very beginnings of my very own knit skirt!

An interesting construction here, to cast on a parallel set of live stitches to make for a cleaner folded waistband at the end.

Speed-knitting the sleeves on my WIP because I need the needles for my test knit. As always, knitting the sleeves two at a time, so sleeve island doesn't exist in my world 😜.
