Hi,
I don't see any problem with you skipping. However, you need to start gradually. However, if the knee's giving you a problem again, stop skipping, do some exercises to strengthen the quadriceps (muscles in the front of the thigh). Try these exercises for at least 6 weeks. Gradually start skipping again and if you still notice pain, it would be advisable to visit an Orthopaedician.
