I became increasingly aware of my fevered state, pulse quickening, heart racing. Could it possibly be after all this time that we were here, together, ready to bind off, this wrap and I? Sure our romance had its lows. But the highs..wow they have made it all worth it. So what if I have some mohair wrapped around one of my tonsils that no amount of throat clearing seems able to dislodge.
This was a large project for me. I am pleased to have completed it. I wanted to shout from the rooftops when I cast off. I am not sure my neighbors share my enthusiasm about knitting so I held my tongue. I believe part of the anxiety I was having about this project was the size. I had lost site of its size. No wonder is seemed to take forever to knit. It dwarfs my Tom Waits CD as you can see in the picture. It just did not seem so big when it was wadded up in my bag. It’s the oversights that get ya.
Hmmmm………. what shall I
cast on next?
My, what a big wrap! The better to warm you with, my dear. Just wait until next November, when it’s cold, dark and wet outside, and your sensibly-low thermostat setting on your furnace leaves a chill in the air. You’ll have no worries, because once you toss this wrap around your shoulders you’ll be warm as toast.
It’s just beautiful!
Cheers,
Trish
What Trish did not mention here is that her own wrap of the same pattern is what motivated me to make mine. Trish is a constant inspiration.
