Rose Knits for Gilly
Enthusiasm
A lot of Petticoat knitting has been going on in the Cupboard…Tatty thinks this is a wonderful thing, since she is very fond of unmentionables and not very fond of other kinds of clothing.
Trials
Alpaca on the bottom on 2 mm bamboo needles; Cottolin in the middle on 1.25 mm steel needles and Noro lace on the top on size 2 mm steel needles. So far the human likes the Noro Lace the best!

Plain Knitting
Rose is taking a break from petticoat-knitting and fulfilling a promise she made to the littlest Hitty…

What sweetness, contentedness and expectation appears to come from Gilly’s eyes. I really like the environment the QHs live in.
They like it too, and Gilly is excited about her incipient new blanket!
No wonder Gilly can’t wait. The soft colors will look so pretty on her. The Noro lace on top looks like a beautiful necklace. The QH’s always looks so “Hooked Up” (an expression we use in this area for dressed to perfection).
Tatty thinks under wear is all you need to be dressed to perfection! Gilly is hoping we won’t run out of yarn before her blanket is done!
I love them all and the basket, too!
Thanks, the basket is from South Carolina, and was a gift from a Hitty friend!
Gilly always looks so ready to be happy! Love the colors of all the knitting. What a busy cupboard.
Gilly is a darling, and always happy about everything! We like to keep busy!
Just a thought – re the vanishing eyelets problem. It looks to me as if you could knit the rows before and after the eyelet row in a different sequence, so the WS (back, or wrong side) becomes the RS (right side, front).
Thanks for the suggestion – I did try that on an earlier version, but this time I knitted through the back of the loop, which seems to have helped a bit.
Oh gosh, you have got a lot on the go! I started mine (and caught up with day 7) last night.
Yay! I think the petticoat-knitting project is lots of fun!
I have to agree – the Noro is my favorite so far, though all are lovely and so nicely cozy for cooler weather. (As if we really knew what that was here…)
Cool weather has arrived here – maybe not quite woolen petticoat weather, but there is a nippy feeling in the air!
