It's a Wrap, or a Scarf or a Mini shawl…or a Trap
Yes Pie you have to model some times.
Thank you for not tearing any stitches with your nails as you tried to back out of the photo shoot.
The icy green is Berocco Folio and the multi is Jawoll magic.
It is shorter than the intended wrap.
I had plenty of Jawoll left but I ran out of Folio.
This Trap measures 32 inches long and that is a full 20 inches less than the pattern was intended.
Still, it is lovely and I'm casting on for another today.
For once I used the suggested yarns and guess what,
I got the intended result. (Not by measure, but by looks)) I did not enjoy the yarn in my hands, however.
It was easy to miss a dropped stitch and I had a few inches of frogging every so often. The yarns liked to tangle together and they were difficult to separate without tearing the yarn itself. This led to a few more ends to weave in on the sides.
I used both of my yarn bowls to keep the yarns in line for the most part.
Next up, I'm deviating from the pattern, and using yarns that I enjoy having in my hands.
Thanks Grace for introducing me to a wonderful pattern on Ravelry.
Try it, You'll LIKE it.

I have always knit two yarns together out of two yarn bowls until the last time when I wound the skeins together into one ball before beginning knitting. It was the dickens to do but it worked great.
