So, I went there. I might be a tad cosy in my crochet skirt (and probably look kinda like a cosy too, haha, er a tea-cosy that is!), but I decided that if I was going to wear it at all again this year, then sooner rather than later was the go. I wanted to get at least a few more days wear out of it while the weather is even half cool enough, and well dang! I’m kinda proud of it so wanted to give it an airing over in the self-stitched September flickr group. Hehe, such a show-off, hmmm?
You’re wondering what I am doing standing here in the kitchen of all places? The flickr group is having another fun weekly photo challenge, and this week is to be in your workplace, or doing something that feels like work to you. Well, to pose in front of my computer in the office felt kind of blah blah predictable… plus I did it during self-stitched September last year. Oh wait, I posed in my kitchen during that challenge too… oh rats.
Is nothing ever original any more?
Details:
Jumper; self-drafted, made of an acrylic knit (that was originally grey but I dyed it yellow when I realised how awful the colour looked), details here
Skirt; crocheted using Jo Sharp yarns, details and my pattern here
Tights; Voodoo
Boots; Andrea and Joen, from Uggies in Dunsborough (now renamed)
I LOVE what happened when you dyed that top. It looks great with your skirt!
Glad you are having fun with SSS. 🙂 Today I thought about how I was missing it and I realized I'm really ok with that. 🙂
You have every right to show off that lovely skirt and in that tidy kitchen!
The skirt is too cute! And really love the style of the jumper and colour. AND your white and bright and clean and tidy kitchen. *jealous*
Love it! The granny square skirt is great. Sounds like it's just about summer already in Perth.
So glad you found an excuse to wear your skirt so that we get to see it again. Any excuse I say. 🙂 It should be shown off.
Glad you had opportunity to wear your skirt again.
I'm jealous of your clean white tidy kitchen, nothing like mine!
You are totally rockin' that skirt!
Love your granny square crocheted skirt and I hope you are able to get a few more wears of it before the weather gets warmer. It reminds me of the crocheted dress
( granny squares) that cate blanchett wore a few years ago. I think the fashion press were up in arms about it at the time- but I liked it!
Great outfit. I like the colour that the shirt turned out. And your kitchen looks so tidy and clean! Can you hop on a plane and come sort mine out??
this is my first time seeing the skirt….and yeah…I am loving it.
Don't blame you one bit for being proud of that skirt. Its just wonderful and it looks great on you! The one thing I do know how to crochet is a granny square. I may have to try one of those skirts at some point! Its just cuteness!
Still thinking about stealing the granny square skirt idea. However, at my crocheting pace, I'd probably be able to wear it by next summer at the earliest… 😉
My personal Grey's Anatomy pet peeves, btw, are 1. putting the ear pieces of the stethoscopes in the wrong way and 2. trying to do CPR with their arms held horizontally …
That skirt is so cool and different, and your kitchen is so clean!
I'm on the 'very clean kitchen' bandwagon here, that's original haha, wow that skirt is cool!! and looks great with the dyed sweater. It will be so NEW next fall you will love wearing it.
Love this outfit!
Also, I know I've said before that I'm going to do it, but this time I really am borrowing your 6-ways outfit post idea. I hope you don't mind. 🙂
You did get to wear it again! I might have to pose scrubbing the toilet. he he. I still think your domestic diva series was inspired, what a hoot! I am in awe of your knitting skills. Though I am knitting a very simple shrug for myself. Squee! I have several inches done already.
Gosh – your dye project on the sweater is just fabulous! My dye projects always turn out like mud with dinner leftovers. Yours is TDF.
your kitchen and your outfit are gorgeous
Our lives go in circles. We repeat and repeat the same things… Our lives go in…
I love the skirt. the dyed sweater is nice too.
I totally love your skirt. What else can I say? It's creative and a superb example of the versatility of the art of crochet. 🙂
Love it! superrrr blog:)) thanks♪ ♫ ♥
