Last Wednesday, I cast on 60 stitches for the skirt portion of the Goldie Golf Sweater. It's made up of wide bands of garter stitch in my main color (a chocolate brown) and narrow strips of 1x1 ribbing in my contrast color (a nice teal), so the effect when completed will be faux pleats with a pretty scalloped hem. The nice thing about this project is that it is done with worsted weight yarn, size 8 needles, and garter stitch, meaning that it is ideal for TV or social knitting when one's attention is called elsewhere. I've got just a couple more repeats to get through before the skirt is finished and I can get started on the body of the cardigan.
It's still snowing where I live, so I think there's some hope that I will be able to complete and wear this sweater before the weather gets too warm for wool!
