Notes

For my big girl for Christmas. :-)

12/8- picking this up after a month without looking at it. Not a good idea when I’m doing many mods for the right fit. I’ve no idea where I’m at. LOL!

12/9- My 8-month-old hates me. >:(
Managed to save the massacre performed by the baby. Shocked. It was bad. Figured I’d be frogging this whole WIP. Making good progress now. More than halfway through the body. :-)

Overall a nice pattern. Definitely a few unclear spots where I would’ve been absolutely lost if it weren’t for experience, and I did my own take on the pocket because I wasn’t a fan of the link provided, but the FO is very nice and I’m excited to give it to my girl for Christmas. :-)
12/26- Really glad I did the 8/10 length with the 6/8 numbers. My girl wears a mostly 7 but some 8’s, and this skirt is bordering on too short for her. Can’t imagine how unseemly it’d be without the two extra inches!
