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.
