Selva Skirt, Winter IK 2007

Posted in Dragon Skin Wrap, Hearts of Oak, Interweave Knits, Selva Skirt, Wyvern Wrap, on 25 October 2007 - 4:24pm

I know a knit skirt isn't everyone's cup o' tea, but isn't the Hearts of Oak stitch pattern super-cool?  And it's crunchy enough to hide the panty lines--yes, I am wearing them. So che una gonna fatto a maglia non e la tazza di te' (??) per tutti, ma non e' il Cuore di Quercia disegno super-cool?  Anche e' abbastanza croccante (??) di nascondere le rughe  delle mutandine--si, le sto indossando. (I've decided to rename the Dragon Skin Wrap for women the Wyvern Wrap--a wyvern is a type of dragon, according to Wikipedia--to avoid confusion with the juvenile version.  I hope to finish the pattern tomorrow; however, daily life threatens to delay me for a day or two--patience, please!) (Ho deciso a ribattezzare il Dragon Skin Wrap per donne il Wyvern Wrap--un wyvern e' un tipo di drago, secondo Wikipedia--per evitare confusione con la versione giovanile.  Spero di finire il modello domani; pero', la quotidianita' (amo questa parola!) mi minaccia di ritardare per un paio di giorni--pazienza, per favore!)

I'm terribly impressed with your productivity and with the thoroughness of your patterns. This is my first time on your blog, directed to it as I pored over the Selva Skirt. I'll be back and will be ordering patterns.Janet

First skirt pattern I've seen that would accomodate my abundance ~ Thank you!The Hearts of Oak pattern seems robust enough to withstand sagginess, and I like the smoother stitch pattern at the top - to reduce bulk at waist and hip.I've been a fan of the Dragonskin stitch ever since I first saw in in BW. Your Wyvern Wrap seems like a wonderful opportunity for me to finally deploy the stitch in a garment.I'm waiting impatiently for my copy of the Winter 07 IK to arrive!

Complimenti, la tua gonna e' veramente molto molto bella, ma ci sono anche le istruzioni in italiano?

I think the skirt is great!

I would say " So che una gonna fatta a maglia non è un capo amato da tutte". In there is not translation for the "cup of tea" expression, at elast none that I can think about. Also, trnaslating "crunchy" to convey the idea of texture is not easy, better work around it and say something like "la texture¹ ricca e raffinata" or something like that.¹ Yes, texture in Italian translates as texture. ^_^

I love the skirt! Though I don't know if I would knit it...I love the stitch. I can't wait for the Wyvern pattern.

Are you going to knit up a prototype of the Wyvern Wrap?I'm almost done with one front of the dragon skin wrap. It's really really cute.
