What was your inspiration?
I love shawls, but I typically don't love their construction or the time that goes into making them. I also love straight lines.
I wanted to create a wrap that was large enough to provide a lot of coverage, without being so long that I was forever flipping it around me. I chose big needles and slightly heavy yarn that I knew would achieve almost instant satisfaction as well as an elegant drape.
Once the wrap was completed I added buttons at the wrists as another means to keep it on while I run around during the day.
What are you most proud of?
I love the versatility of this project. So many looks with just one item and all of them really truly keep me warm and cute at the same time.
I used Cascade Ecological wool, which also made this a 1 skein, very affordable project.
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
This is such an easy project to make. There is a fun pattern that runs along the border that resembles snowflakes. If you can knit and you can purl, you can make this project.
