The knitted wrap is progressing V.E.R.Y. S.L.O.W.L.Y. I think the problem is I'm just not used to knitting large projects. I know there was the saga of the knitted blanket but at least I could get on with that one square at a time (and jolly useful the blanket has turned out to be this winter.) The wrap is, obviously, all done in one piece and is getting a tad boring just knitting and purling back and forth - although I do think it will look nice once it is finished, especially if we ignore the wonky buttonhole!
To alleviate the tedium, I knitted up this beanie from some rather vibrant pure wool twist by Colinette which I found unused in a charity shop in Bristol last spring. The colourway is imaginatively called Blue Saturn (there is something of outer space about the colour combinations), and it's even more vibrant than it seems in the photo. It was a fast and satsifying knit, and there was just enough yarn left over for another one of these.
The beanie is about to be listed for sale on ebay, the pom pom is going in my stash for making a pom pom garland next Christmas. Now back to knitting the wrap again.
