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.

Your wrap is really beautiful. Reminds me of one that Rowna had in their magazine a few years ago.
