The skort is absolutely lovely!! I went through a similar story with a skort once, I found it also by accident on a flew-marked, lost it and never found one again... I made one once but it was some yellow fabric reminding me a bit to much of building side working outfits, so I didnt really wear it.. but I absolutely agree with you that the cut is amazing!! I love that it looks like a skirt, but you can climb and jump and sit (and so on) as if you where trousers, which I find very comfortable..
Well it was really nice to see you making a crochet version of the skort! Have a good time:)
