I Had a Winner!!!!

Last Saturday my ASG friends, from our local neighborhood group, made our way across the Bay for the annual Hampton Roads Chapter holiday party.  Everyone was supposed to wear a scarf, shawl or wrap that they had made.  And guess what?  Mine won in the wrap division.  I got a give certificate to Fabric Hut, which I am going to save until after the holidays.


It looks a bit different on my malnourished mannequin, especially considering she doesn't have any arms.

You may remember a post I wrote about a year ago on socks.  I probably knit another 10 or 11 pairs this year, so this leaves me with lots of small balls of left-over sock yarn.  And, you guessed it, I used some of that yarn to knit this wrap.  I used size 6 circular needles and cast on too many stitches to count.  I knit until I got sick of it,and then bound off.

I have enough yarn to make at least one more, but right now I'm finishing up Christmas gifts.  I'll do a blog soon about what I am making and have a few patterns.  Except for what I'm making I've finished with the shopping, put the tree up, tiled my kitchen back-splash, and written a novel.  O.K. I'm lying about the novel. I just said that to get your attention.

Hope you have a stress-free holiday.
