I’ve been chugging away on a Toast wrap since the beginning of December. It’s part of my commitment to use what I have, digging deep into the stash for some balls of Knitpicks Stroll — unoriginally, in the exact colors used in the pattern photos (but why mess with a good thing?). Here’s hoping I can finish this one up this weekend. It’s foggy and cool in Boston, the kind of hazy weather that encourages stretches of time spent with knitting in lap, a cup of tea by your side.
What are you working on?
Wow, what a great pattern, can’t believe I hadn’t seen it before! I might try making a hat version…
It’s such an easy stitch pattern, too! Perfect for scratching the stranded knitting itch.
A side note: I’m a big fan of your blog and delighted you commented!
Aw thanks! The last year I’ve been so busy, I’ve barely left any comments on other blogs at all, even though I kept on reading them… I hope this year I can get back to commenting – it creates so much more of a bond between people
I bought some O-Wool fingering weight in black and white to make this, but I just never got around to it. The Harpa scarf from the new Westknits book has stolen my heart too, but how many fingering-weight-colourwork-in-the-round neck warmers does a girl need? Or have the capacity to make? Oy.
Also love Harpa, and am considering making it one of my next projects because I can’t shake the fingering-weight-colorwork-in-the-round neck warmer trend. But I’m with you – they take.so.long. I need a bulky project to get me going and feel like I can actually finish something!
Beautiful! Love the pattern and the colors you chose.
Thank you! They’re the same colors the designer chose, so I don’t feel very original… but they’re good!
