Paradise Skirt (pattern moved)

[Tinamah]

Thank you. I have seen skirts like this and was wanting to try it.

[Momcrochets]

Thank you all. I'm gratified that you like it. I'd love to see pictures from anyone who makes it enjoy it.

[~Elise~]

I'm going to attempt this this month...I've had this bookmarked since you posted it!

 

The yarn I had on hand won't work (too warm for mid-july), so I need to order some of the Petalspun online, I guess.

[Momcrochets]

You won't regret it, Elise. Those cones of petalspun (or their other rayon by the cone--which isn't as shiny as the picture, more matte) is SOOO nice to work with. THUD

ETA and I've always had wonderful service with them

[~Elise~]

it's ordered and paid for...now to wait on its arrival.

[Momcrochets]

what color did you pick? (I know, I should just be patient and wait to see ) Bet you get it really soon...this week maybe even!

[~Elise~]

I got the delivery notice today...they say it should be here on the 18th.

 

I got purple. LOL

[~Elise~]

Hey...just had a wild thought. Do you mind if I start a CAL for this? Maybe it'll help keep me on track. Can you drop in to answer questions, Momcrochets??

 

ETA...I started it already. Here it is http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=99908

We'll see if anyone wants to join in. This is the first CAL I've ever started.

[Momcrochets]

I'd love to drop in, and I don't mind at all that you started a CAL. I've already peeked in once Purple sounds lovely!

[PamSing]

I love your skirt! And your pattern may solve a problem I been having with a skirt that is similar. I couldn't figure out the waistband. Do you mind if I use your solution? (I'm not making a pattern, just trying to make my own skirt.) Thanks so much in advance.

[~Elise~]

Hey...did you design a matching top, as well??? Just wondering.

 

Elise

[Momcrochets]

Elise, nope, I didn't. I just wear whatever RTW top I like with it.

 

Pam, go ahead and use that waistband on your own skirt project if it works for you.

[~Elise~]

oh well, one could hope. I did find a pineapple top today in plus sizes, as well.

[PamSing]

Thanks. I'll let you know how it goes. The skirt is adapted from the Short & Sweet bolero pattern. When I finish it I'll post a photo (something I've yet to do!)

Woohoo...glad you found a top you liked that will work.

I'm excited to see how it comes out.

Sounds neat, I look forward to seeing it.

Hi,

I need help!!!

 

 

I found the link to this pattern in Ravelry. I love the skirt and I'd like to make it. But it seems the pattern is no longer available to the links the give.

Can someone help me find the pattern?

 

thanks a lot

http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/paradise-skirt click the link again, but see it says on that page you have to click "see more" to get the pattern

[Momcrochets]

Oh dear! It appears that Peaches and Creme has removed my pattern from their website. It will be available in the 2011 Crochet Pattern Calendar (knittingpatternaday.com) which is available (or will be very soon) at several locations. I've seen it at SamsClub, others have found it at Barnes&Noble, or amazon.com, or some of the craft stores.

HTH

[heart]

I've had several people ask where to get the pattern after seeing the pictures of the one I made. Will it be available again online?

[FrLopLady]

The Kaboodle web page DOES have the pattern.

 

Under "description" there is little greenish letters that say "see more" Click that and there is the pattern

[crocheter4jesus]

It is BEAUTIFUL! I wish I knew how to do pineapples!

[Momcrochets]

They used to confound me too, C4J...you can do it. Though this might not be the pattern to learn on

 

Mary, thanks for the heads up about the working link...that's great to know!

[jrnylst]

Congratulations! That's wonderful news, and a very deserving project!

[Momcrochets]

Thank you!

[Momcrochets]

update: the Kaboodle link still works. When you are reading the description alongside the photo, click on the "see more" and the rest of the pattern should show up.
