Carrie

DUDE. I lovelovelove that skirt! I'm working on an Indigo Ripples skirt right now and really hope it comes out half as cute as that. You look fantastic in it!

I have always been afraid of knitted skirts. I grew up in a family where having a round shape was not encouraged and since knits usually cling, they were not the clothing of choice. However, having said all that, I love that skirt on you. I would seriously think about making one and giving it a try.

I've been eager to see la skirt!! Just beautiful. It's on my list too - right after the indigo ripples, the Vogue cover Koigu skirt - I'm in a big skirt phase.

I see you're knitting Katharine Howard. I have all the original yarns to make that one. We should have a knit along ;)

Gina

Wowza! Yowza! This is amazing, and you look utterly sexy! Great job!

dani

The skirt is fabulous, but I'm LOVING the shoes. Great job, you!

Thanks for the "bagging" report. This is what keeps me from knitting the skirt. My trunk does not need bagging, believe me.

Skylar

Smokin' hot, girlfriend! Love the pics and that skirt is way hot! Great job!

Ashley

Gorgeous, girlie! I never gave that skirt a second thought after looking at in in Lace Style, but now, hmmmm....

Great photo shoot too, as always.

kate

cuuuuu-uuuute!

Joanna

Oh gosh that is so perfect! I am still a little weary of knitted skirts in general but I've seen so many cute ones recently... yours might be the one that finally puts me over the edge and convinces me to make one of my own.

stacey

wow! what a rave review! it definitely makes me think twice about a knitted skirt! it looks so flattering and amazing!

Aimee

I have to say we all feel hard for this skirt when the trunk show arrived at Knit Happens. Everyone modeled, everyone oh'ed and ah'ed and everyone looked stunning.

It may have even gone out on a little field trip so the rest of the non-knitting public could reveal in it's loveliness. Maybe. Possibly.

Thanks to Elspeth for succumbing to the call and giving this lovely skirt the photo shoot it so rightly deserves. It is beautious.

Niki

Gorgeous! Thanks for the reply about my initial questions. I am ABSOLUTELY going to have to give this one a go. You look fab!

Amy

Wowee wow. That skirt is phenomenal and after hearing that it doesn't sag... well, I might lift my personal ban on knitted skirts!

4-Ply Katie

Oh my GOD. I need one right now! It looks absolutely fantastic! Swingy and cute and perfect in the denim. Well worth all the effort!

Gale

It is beautiful and looks so great on you Elspeth. Love the shoes too.

Rossana

What a lovely write-up and accompanying fashion show! Kudos! And Welcome Home!

Wanda

Absolutely stunning!

Julia

Woo woo! I read this when you first posted, but didn't comment b/c I didn't have time to gush appropriately. I realized if I waited that long, however, I would never comment! So here it is - woo woo! You look great and the skirt is very sexy. I love your DC shots - they remind me of my good times there.

I could be cynical and say that of course it looks good on you, because, well, what doesn't? But I truly believe you when you say that skirt looks good on everyone. It really sizzles on you, though!

Norma

What fantastic photos of you -- oh, yes, and the skirt, too! Such a GREAT and different finished object.

genia

fabo skirt and you're right (along with everyone else) it is very sexy and kicky at the same time!

Ava

Getting Jiggly With It

Places You Can Buy Nice Things

Straight Down Charles Street

  • Street Grate
    Charm City? The ironies abound. Television shows like Homicide: Life on the Street and The Wire have depicted Baltimore as a decaying, crime ridden city. Cultural emblems Natty Boh and Old Bay thumb their noses at supposed culinary elegance. The local newspaper has a section called Murder Ink. Car Theft Capital of the Country. Syphilis Capital of the Western World. Greatest City in America? Wander along Greenmount Avenue; the drug problem is obvious. But cross four blocks and walk into the Baltimore Museum of Art, home of the largest Matisse collection in the world. Get mugged on Remington Avenue. Then walk up three blocks to The Avenue, Baltimore’s 36th Street and be comforted by a matronly Hon while waiting for the police. Baltimore is a city of infinite contradictions and one constant, a single street that runs from one end of the city to the other, the line from which everything else is numbered. The city starts at 2100 South Charles Street, a turn around that’s become a makeshift dump. The city stops at 6000 North Charles Street, where the road becomes Maryland Route 139, right in front of a Mc Mansion. The people on these 80 blocks: young, old, educated, illiterate, black, white, anything and everything in between, they live in a city struggling to renew without losing itself.
