Finished this woven wonder just in time for the cold weather. And yes, it is cold in LaLaLand. About 56 degrees during the day. Okay, that's a spring temp for much of the rest of the country, but for us weather weenies, it is frigid!
So, back to my wrap. It's big (I wanted this to work as a coat replacement) and it's made entirely of scrap wool. Let's hear it for stash busting!
As is my way, I wove this example of diamond motif goodness on my 12" Hazel Rose Loom and crocheted the pieces together with a cone of Lamb's Pride worsted in their Smoke colorway.
I really enjoy using these little looms. In fact, I just finished up a diamond wrap made entirely of my own homespun and have one more in the works using a bushel of boucle from my stash. After the boucle wrap is complete, my plan is to move onto square, rectangle and smaller triangle looms. I also have to weave something on my Ashford Knitters Loom and my Spriggs Adjustable Rectangle Frame Loom. You can be sure that there will be lots o' weaving in 2009!
Wishing you all a wonderful holiday!

Echoing - it's a beautiful wrap. The first thing it reminds me of is the stained glass windows you sometimes see in cathedrals. Gorgeous. Happy Ho-Ho's to you and yours!
The wrap looks like a stained glass window made of sheets of ice. It's elegant and mysterious, truly amazing.
Gorgeous and so unique - as usual, you are so superhuman talented. Happy holidays!
