Describe in directional terms the relationship between the patella and the ankle?

The ankle is distal to the knee.

What do you call skirts not quite to the ankle?
Tea length skirts, the length between ankle length and knee length.
Is the knee proximal or distal to the ankle?
Saying that the knee is "proximal" to the knee means it is closer to the center of the body. The construction of the leg allows us to walk. The knee couldn't be distal to the ankle because the foot would be located above the knee, which wouldn't connect to anything. It's really a matter of understanding the terminology...
