twig

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.
