This is a wrap I completed recently. I purchased some lovely merino silk super wash singles yarn called Aria from Propanicus Moon It is hand dyed by Sarah in her Wet Kitten Colorway. I used a double strand to weave this wrap on my 3 ft triangle loom, then added leno strips in the back for texture.
I crocheted the top edge of the shawl as I removed it from the loom, then crocheted around the perimeter with single crochet, then a row of double crochet on the sides. Using a circular knitting needle I picked up and knit on the sides using the border from the Nearly Mindless Shawl that Sarah at Propanicus Moon designed, finishing up with a picot bind off. After blocking, the border looks great.
There was quite a bit of yarn left so my thought was to make some fingerless mitts to go with the wrap. I searched ravelry for the perfect pattern and tried to knit some simple mitts. After about 5 frogs I threw in the towel, and looked for a simple crochet pattern. I found the perfect pattern, Season's Change Fingerless Mitts by Deborah L. Berger on Ravelry
Not being the most experienced crocheter, it took a few tries to get two mitts the same size. I kept holding the yarn tighter and tighter. After four tries there were two that were almost the same. Due to lack of perfection I am including them with the wrap which is for sale on my Etsy Shop shop. The mismatched pair is for me, and I love them!
