Knitters Treat Exchange and, dare I say it? An actual FO!
By Sarah | April 26, 2007
Wow, have I been spoiled! Chrissy!!! Thank you, thank you!
Yesterday I received a decadent (and very heavy) box full of treats all the way from Canda. There was chocoalte raspberry lotion and body wash, raspberry hand sanitizer, balt salts, citrus room spray, tea, more chocolate candy than you can shake a stick at, knitting magazines (I don’t have those issues – perfect!) and…… Duet Sock Yarn in Chocolate Fantasy - LOVE IT! Thank you so much Chrissy – you went out of your way and I truly appreciate it the effort. Such fun to meet you and read about you on your blog. Great job on the lace projects, by the way.
What’s that? Could it be? An actual finished object? Yep, I finally finished something. The plucky wrap is actually more like a baby wrap, but just what I had in mind – something to bunch up around my neck that is very cozy, with tons of texture. You can’t see in the picture, but there are other colors in the wrap too, much more green, blue and lavender. I couldn’t wait to wear it, so plucky has not been blocked yet. So it should grow a bit (does anyone know how much I can expect it to grow? 10%? 20%? more? It is a lace pattern I used, on size 13 needles…. just curious). Perhaps this weekend when it warms up I will take it off and block it. Until then, it’s staying right where it is, on my neck.

The wrap looks fantastic — cozy and perfect for keeping you warm and toasty. Also, your glasses are fantastic! I’m in the market for a new pair and yours are just what I want.
