Blocked and ready to go

The wrap has been blocked and is ready to be sent off. All I will have left is this picture and the pleasure of having made something I am proud of.

Trains and Buses

Recently took the train to Chicago with my daughters for a long weekend and then a bus to Nashville, Indiana with my mom and sister for a girls outing. The results of these excursions where my hands were free to knit is that the wrap I am test knitting for Alpaca with a Twist is almost complete. I have about 1/2 of the last side to edge and then I can block it. The yarn is almost a burnt orange instead of the red it appears to be in the picture. A beautiful fall color. The pattern is by Sharon Winsauer and is easy enough to memorize (after a couple false starts on my part) once you get going and difficult enough to keep your interest. It is not yet available on their website but probably will be shortly.
