Wrap it Up!

Clearly my Tequila Sunrise had an intoxicating effect on me.

Rosebud, Firebird, Sunstone, Scaponia and Bleeding Hearts

Not only am I still planning my next colorway choices (and secretly hoping to find completion with original first choice colors),

Jade, Puck's Mischief and Jasper in need of two more friends

but I have succomed to the whole shawl/wrap/stole thing.

Yes, poor Jeanie lingers on, the thought of all the ribbing is just killing me.

But, now we can Clapotis and Hanami and Ulmus to my list of WiPpy Wraps. Each one demands something different, or in the case of Clapotis almost nothing at all. But each one also has its own beauty.

Witness the delicateness of Hanami

and the boldness of Ulmus

And though you'd think wraps would be the last thing on my mind in June, you'd be dead wrong. As I write I hear the rain crashing down. And it's cold outside. I could pretty much snuggle up in any of these right now. Thank goodness Tequila Sunrise is all finished. I could really use a drink.

Ohmygosh, your Tequila Sunrise is absolutely gorgeous, J. The color flow came out great! Can we see it modeled?

On a different note. I've never knitted socks before. Can you recommend a VERY SIMPLE sock that starts on the bottom (the toe or the heel)? I'd like something that I could keep knitting until it comes as high up the leg as I like it.
