The top is Monica from the Spring 2007 Knitty.
The skirt is Twirly Skirt published in InKnitters magazine.
It works as both a skirt and a poncho! Both patterns are from the book Barefoot Knits by Christine Schwender and Paula Heist. Based on these two pieces, it's a book I'm going to want to buy.
I knit these on size US6 needles with Mission Falls 1824 cotton and they came out really nice. I've used the Mission Falls before and it's a very sturdy yarn for kids' clothing. It washes well and holds up forever. Now I have to start on Kate's...

Emma looks as pleased as Punch in her lovely new things! You found a wonderful use for some of your Mission Falls stash. Uhh, I think you should knit Kate's thing first the next time you do doubles, so she won't get second-child complex :-) Plus it would be smaller while you are seeing if you like the pattern!
Your knitting is splendid, but your children are sublime. Wow, is she gorgeous.
I made a top for Claire and now I want to make a skirt too. Was the pattern in the most recent magazine?
Emma is such a wonderful model! And the knitting looks wonderful.
I've been absent from the blog world and have just now gotten my quotes down from your tag...sheesh.
I'll see you in 30:30...

Harriet, she IS pleased as Punch with it. And Kate picked her colors, so I've started hers. I do switch off on projects, so whoever got one last the last time gets one first the next time.
Thanks Bev!
Hi Renee! It was in the Fall issue: Fall 2006, Vol. 6, No. 2. I think you can order back issues on their website. The pattern is really simple and a pretty quick knit.
Cheryl, hey, it's good to see you around. I love your quotes! Hope you're feeling better.
