I started AND finished a project last week. We had a dedication at our church for Audrey last Sunday, so I went shopping for my outfit Tuesday night. I found great clothes, but I needed a wrap to go with my new outfit! What's a girl to do? Make something of course! I had a black and white skirt with a black top, so black was the obvious choice.
I grabbed some soysilk:
And my ever-ready Denise set:
Did some quick figuring:
(yes, it's the ravings of a mad woman)
And we're off!
Don't we look lovely?
Quick wrap, my own design
1.5 balls Phoenix soysilk from Southwest Trading Company
Size 10 Denise needles
started August 29, 2007
finished August 30, 2007
I know it's not the best picture of the finished object, but how important is that really? I have it at the shop if you'd like to see it in person. I will also have the pattern available sometime next week. The yarn knit up very quick and soft. I added dropped stitches to save myself some knitting and add more drape.
By the way, isn't she the cutest?

Man you knit fast!! Do you knit continental or English.
I will have to stop in and see it because I am not sure what it really looks like.
Audrey doesn't seem as confused about the camera anymore.
I finally dropped my first stitch for the Clapotis!!
aw, it is so great to see how big Audrey is getting! i miss her! as for the shawl, it seems like it is really cute, ill have to make it :)
How gorgeous is she?!
Yep, she IS the cutest! The wrap is lovely in person, too---and huggably soft!
You both do look lovely -- and Audrey is the cutest! I'm amazed and impressed that you can put something like that together so fast, especially from your own design. Especially loved see the sketch -- you really are an artist! Thanks for the inspiration. Maybe some day I'll get something done in less than 5 months! :)
