No Pattern Knit Peplum Skirt! (say that 3 times!!!)

My sister asked me if I had enough skills to make her a peplum skirt...my reply "Of course! Didn't you see my awesome pajamas????"  The pressure was on so I searched You Tube for a video and came across this great tutorial by tglashen.  Her directions are very easy to follow and she has several other great beginner projects.  I don't have a serger like she does, so I just used a zigzag stitch on my knit fabric.  My sis loved her new skirt sooooo much that she had to take it on her honeymoon! haha
My peplum skirt in Cancun!

Worked with knit fabric for the first time.
Took on a patternless project!
Made something that can be worn in public!

Took me a loooong time to get the tension correct.
Learned the hard way to use an appropriate needle for knits!!!!!!

Happy stitching!
