The Dublin Wrap

I love this wrap!  Simple, elegant and perfect for March!   I was inspired by the green grass in Dublin, Ireland.  A place I was lucky to have visited many years ago.  I remember all the good times that I had during my fall semester abroad.   I think that I hit every pub in Dublin!  The funny thing is that I don't drink - at all!  So, I had Irish coffee instead, yum! (just a bit of whiskey in each)

I hope that you enjoy knitting this one up as much as I enjoyed designing it for you all.  Please, if you have any question, just send me an email.  I will be happy to help in any way.  I chose a wool blend for this wrap so it can be worn in spring as well.  A bit lighter than straight wool.

The Aspen Wrap

 have been knitting like a busy bee!   I created my first wrap and I just love how it came out.  I knit this in Sirdar Snuggly which is a DK weight.  Soft, light and washable.  I just have to figure out what to name it.  I have to let it mull around in my head for a few days.

It was a joy to knit.  So versatile.  I can wear it as a wrap, a scarf, shawl, or cowl.  I am so excited!  I have to write down the pattern properly and I am thinking of listing it on Ravelry.   It is classic and will last many years to come through all the fashion changes the world can throw at it.  Everyone should have a piece like this in your closet.  Now for the pictures!
