Wrapped
February 8th
My friend Kim was given a gorgeous gray cotton three button wrap at Christmas. I fell in love. I watched her open it and as soon as it was polite to do so, I picked it up and started counting rows. I knew I had to have one. Thankfully, Ravelry agreed and I found the pattern. With a bit of holiday money burning a hole in my pocket, I splurged on a cashmere blend yarn and some coconut shell buttons.
One month later…
This was particularly tricky to photograph by myself; it is supposed to look like this, but my version is considerably smaller. It is still warm, soft, pink and perfect! I am very pleased with how it turned out. And as crazy as it sounds, I may make myself another one in lime green. I want a bigger one too.

Lovely! And it is totally okay to have more than one : )
Love it, big and small.
Numnumnum!
I see long hair there…. How long is it now? Pic?
Cashmere wrap… sounds heavenly! Do you have cool enough weather to wear something like that in AZ?

I nominated your blog for an award. Check it out in today’s post at my blog
Ooooh I haven’t knit anything since Christmas but this makes me want to pull out the knitting needles!!!!!
Ha, I have one of those! My Mom and I saw them in a gift shop at the Colorado Botanical Gardens last summer, and just like you, she is a knitter. We took dozens of pictures of them (I’m sure the salespeople thought we were very strange), and then she made one for me out of a gorgeous dark gray/black variegated yarn. It even has the coconut shell buttons! Next time you’re here, we can go show off our wraps.
Very sassy. And you’ve inspired me (and all my golf league buddies) to start a knitting group. Basically they all knit and I’m begging them to teach me. I’ll keep you posted.
I like your wrap. The linked photo from the store – well that one looks appropriate for modeling but not really wearing, moving, working etc. Your looks functional and very pretty.
