Shawl Wrap

This little item has been done for weeks but never got blogged, or seen by humans who care, (not like husbands). I am cleaning up my piles of stuff in each room and the pile this was in was nearly all put away when I decided to take pictures of it and be done with it.

After twenty or so attempts I got this back view. NOT too flattering is it?


The Film Noir Version, all weird angles and strange lighting...

Fluffy enough?

Estilo Bandolero, que lastima!
And what about those tails? Is this what the Playboy Bunny's Grandma would wear?

Finally I grab Dave and make him take a shot or two.

The Shape It Scarf from Sally Melvilles' The Knit Stitch
The yarn I bought in New Zealand before it became ubiquitous in the US. All Polyester and nice and FLUFFY. Needles were probably 13 circulars. I forgot to pay attention and count the increases when it came to the length of the ties, which reaffirms my place in the Bohemian Knitters ring.
But really I meant it to look like this. The shoulder stay warm ( so do the nips) and nothing falls in the soup. A winner in my book.
Back to cleaning house.

  2. It's cute but I would like it better if it buckled in the back; like the buckles that are used on fanny packs. I don't like sitting against big knots and having those tails point to my butt. . . pleeeze!

    Its so *fluffy*!!

    Looks great on you. Would not work for me, as keeping my nips outta the soup isn't the problem... rather, keeping the soup offa my nips... Therefore "white = see what I had for lunch" at my house!

    Anywhoo, you have a finished object to show!!! That is always good. :)
