It's a Wrap

I have been knitting like a busy bee!   I created my first wrap and I just love how it came out.  I knit this in Sirdar Snuggly which is a DK weight.  Soft, light and washable.  I just have to figure out what to name it.  I have to let it mull around in my head for a few days.

It was a joy to knit.  So versatile.  I can wear it as a wrap, a scarf, shawl, or cowl.  I am so excited!  I have to write down the pattern properly and I am thinking of listing it on Ravelry.   It is classic and will last many years to come through all the fashion changes the world can throw at it.  Everyone should have a piece like this in your closet.  Now for the pictures!

Yeah.. I love it...

Finally finished my Every Way Wrap and it is to DIE FOR.  It has to be my favorite thing that I knit for myself.  It drapes beautifully.  Not something that anyone has in their wardrobe. Classic.  I wore it out on Saturday and my friends love it.  At first they were making fun of me because I am an old soul.  Who knits in their 30’s? umm ME! and quite a few others out there I am sure.  They just don’t know of another.  I tried t

o convince them young knitters are a plenty but they just weren’t buying it.  Well the jokes on them!  They called it a funky wrap.  I just have to knit another but I am going to change the cabling in the next one to make it my own.

If you are one of the many that looked at this project and found it daunting - just give it a try.  It is certainly worth it!   Just make sure you get the errata off the Interweave Knits web page.  The chart glossary for the cable pattern is not correct in the magazine.

Cowl Crazy

I have been knitting up a storm lately.  Going Cowl Crazy.  For some reason I have found myself drawn to making them.  Yes, I know it is the middle of summer but they are such a joy to knit up.  Quick, easy, mindless.  Like a great book that you can just get lost in while sitting in the sun.  If you are a Raveler, then check out my site Ravelry.  I will be listing some of them for sale in the near future on both my etsy pageand on my new shop in 1000Markets.
