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.
