It's a wrap

...or is it? I love it. I made the pattern up and used some Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Astrakan which I had previously HATED knitting with, but combined with some Brittany Birch needles, it all went swimmingly. Before I crocheted the edge using some left over Sari Ribbon I had, I washed the wrap and it actually felted slightly giving it a lovely heavier texture. It's so gorgeous, I can't wait to wear it. Intended destination: St Agnes, Cornwall, Time: 3 weeks. Cool summer evenings.

Actually, I've realised now that it would be a great gift for any new mum -she could wear it and it's soft enough, and big enough to wrap baby in too. I think I'll be making a few more of these in the future...
