Here’s the cowl I finished yesterday:

And the skirt. It’s not completely done: I still need to sew in the rest of the buttons (the top two are functional); below that I sewed the skirt closed to prevent wardrobe malfunctions. It fits perfectly, but it also stretches; I will need to sew in elastic or ribbon behind the waistband to keep the skirt from sliding down my legs when I wear it. I like the way it looks though (I hope you can tell; Ted is terrible at portrait/knitting photos, and that pneumatic look around my middle in two of the pictures is because my sweater is folded up to keep it out of the way. (Also, new sweater! Isn’t it a pretty color? It’s so soft I keep petting myself.)
