twig

Friday, April 08, 2016

Remember when I mentioned the mouse in my car?  Well, I'm so grateful that little fellow came for a visit.  You see, this project was stored in my car all winter.  For those times waiting.  But since I didn't want that mouse to make a nest out of my knitting, I rescued this project into the house.  I only had about 10 inches left to knit... so I did.  
 I could not be more pleased with results.  It was designed after the cashmere wraps that are sold where I work on Fridays and Saturdays.  Man, do I love those wraps.  I decided I could make one, but it would have to have the same sort of drape as cashmere.  This yummy yarn is pretty close.
I added a double crochet border along the edge to prevent curling.  If you are a crocheter, you rock.  As this was not as much fun as the knitting.  
While making it, I told Libby it was for her.  I've now told her maybe we should share.
It reminds me of the yoga shawl I made last summer.  However, I can honestly say it has much more drape.  It's a simple, easy pattern that requires minimal thought.


Pattern:  Twig
Yarn: 4 skeins Fyberspates scruptious DK/Worsted
Needles:  US size 8
Crochet hook: size G
Gauge: 18 st = 4"

Have a great weekend, friends!

  2. I knit a cashmere wrap but stalled on sewing on the buttons. I hope I can use your wrap as a kick in the pants this weekend and get mine finished. You are much more motivating than a mouse.

  14. Leslie - this is just beautiful! I wish I had seen it a few days earlier as I, too, have been looking for a simple poncho for the spring. I finally found Sidwell (http://juliehoover.com/portfolio/sidwell/) and am loving it so far knit with Cascade Pacific. Hopefully, it will move along quite quickly and then I can start yours! Thank you - thank you.

  29. If your location is included in the market, you won’t meet any difficulty to tune in NBC Sports. FuboTV focuses on sporting channels, including NBC Sports. Its “Fubo” package is enough to get you the coverage of U.S. Open Golf, The Masters Golf 2021 and more . But you need to consider checking the availability of the channel in your location before proceeding.

  30. NBA fans in the U.S. would be distraught because they won’t be able to cheer and watch their favourite ballers play for their teams upfront in their home courts. Nonetheless, the NBA bubble will be nationally televised, and games will be airing on ABC, ESPN, TNT and NBA TV.

    These networks have a nine-year contract with NBA for shared streaming rights in the U.S. Keep in mind all nba finals 2021 live are broadcast on ABC.
