Just a quick blog to show you a wrap I have knitted in Manos del Uruguay Alegria, a beautifully soft 4 ply yarn designed for socks but equally lovely used in other projects. Here is my finished wrap....
Which was made with this colourway. Beautiful.
I shamefully have this garment on display in the shop, because what you can't see in the photo (because I photographed it from the 'good' side) is the GLARING mistake I made because I did not follow my own advice from an earlier blog and I did not READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST!!
There are short rows in this pattern, and halfway through I was not happy with how the 'wrapped' stitch was showing, and couldn't work out what was going wrong.......until I read to the end of the instructions which told me exactly how to knit up the wrapped stitch so that it doesnt show. AAAARRGGGHHHH. Usually I would have taken the whole thing out and started again, but with so many projects on the go, I decided to carry on regardless and display it as a lesson to all who look at it to (as my Mum used to say) 'do as I say, not as I do'!!
Even with the mistakes, its still pretty though and I will wear it - with the good bit on the outside.....
Speak to you soon
Love from Tina xxxx
