I'm Chia Wald and this is my blog. Here is where I share my thoughts and my art. Sometimes it is good, sometimes it isn't. That's life... and that's me. 
Now that I know it really is winter and I have very little time left before the holidays I did the most logical thing I could think of – I spent time stumbling around the internet.
One of the pages I fell on was this one. It has lots of photos of this stunning skirt and a little story from the girl who made it. She says that some of her loved ones made fun of her beautiful skirt. Shame on them! I love this skirt and only wish I wasn’t so fat that one in my size would look more like a circus tent.
Stumble it!

That is a marvelous skirt. I followed the link, and there I read that her skirt was mentioned in craftzine, so I followed that link, which is how I found out about crocheted mome raths. I love mome raths. Ah, old-fashioned stumbling.

Mome raths…..now those are odd… I had no idea what they were, but being a crocheter decided I needed to check it out. I even thought, that hey, maybe there’s a surprize gift idea on that page. I went. I saw. I’m shaking my head. Mome raths need some explaining.
The skirt is really retro, reminds me of granny skirts in the 70′s. If I knew a little girl, I’d make one.

Mome raths were in Alice in Wonderland. As in, “don’t step on the mome raths.” Here is an educational video.

That makes more sense now… I think they would make outstanding cat toys.

That is a great idea.
