I made this skirt for Elly 2 years ago.
You can tell it has been a long time if you look at the picture of Elly wearing it. She looks like such a baby with all that chub!
Yet, it was only after finding a test knitter last year that I was motivated to complete the pattern.
While visiting the Please Touch Museum with my dear friend and my godson, I took more pictures of Elly in the skirt. My favorite picture was of Elly showing off its twirling abilities while running in circles!
