Yarn Along

The Guernsey Wrap is coming along nicely.
I have started the third and final ball of yarn and in my eye's,
I am coming down the home stretch.


I have knitted and purled 377 rows, 
there are 58 stitches in each row and the wrap is 48 inches long right now.
I have about 82 more rows to complete and it will be finished.
I will then have to wash and block it, blocking it will improve it's final shape.

This is a Christmas present for a friend and it will be done in plenty of time for Christmas.
I have another hat to knit before Christmas and maybe two or three more washcloths.
Good thing I started my Christmas knitting in January

Right now, Sue is waiting for wool to come in for her new afghan. It's supposedly on sale at our craft store but ... She may have to order online somewhere at non-sale prices.

You have probably already posted it, but do you have a link for the pattern? It is beautiful. I don't know if I knit well enough, but I love it. Where did you purchase your pattern?

Debbie said...

this is a very easy knit. if you can knit and purl, that is all that is required. the only thing with this wrap, is you have to pay close attention to the pattern BUT with so many repeats, at some point you will memorize it!!

This wrap is just so lovely. Wow, it does requre a bit of work; but well worth it. I like that you are doing it has a gift to a friend. Please model it before you send it.
I must get crocheting back into my life or start up knitting again. I used to knit many years ago.
Blessings and hugs!
