This wrap is so soft, if hairy. The yarn is a blend of 80% Alpaca 20% Silk. Lovely combination. I liked this yarn much better than what was used in the original design (The Fiber Company Road to China Light, in the colorway Peridot, which I have, and it was my first try).
Even though I really like this colorway, this shawl will go into the gift bin for now. I'd like to make myself one with handspun yarn.
While I was taking these photos, Denny stole a wooden board from the kitchen counter, and munched on it, when I found him like that in my studio.
pattern: Buttonwillow wrap by Romi Hill
yarn: Wandering Cat Yarns Sophisticat, 1.56 skeins of Spring Fling - 445yds used (once again the WCY girls did a wonderful job with the colorway)
needle size: 3.5mm
size after blocking: 20 inches x 68 inches, I did not block the heck out of it though.

Denny Denny Denny!!
Beautiful as ever! Unfortunately we don't get such lovely yarns here in India otherwise I would have suffered from yet another attack of 'startitis'! Wool with you. Love to Happy, Denny and Maggie!
Very delicate :)
Bad Denney - he knows it too ;) (LOL - you have a hard time being mad with him, don't you?)
Gorgeous shawl, I love the unusual holes and pattern. Denny obviously needed a square (round) meal.
He's a rascal, isn't he. You won;t be using that again, maybe he thinks it is a big frisbee??
Elegant. Tres elegant.
Gorgeous gorgeous shawl. Denny cracks me up so much!
Lovely shawl.
Denny is adorable!
So elegant and yet will still be warm and cozy in the alpaca/silk ~ it's a lovely lovely shawl. I also like the unusual spine design ~
Denny and Simcha are so alike ;)
That Denny - life is never dull with him around, is it?
Beautiful shawl! I think I need to add that pattern to my queue on Ravelry. It would be lovely with handspun yarn.
That wrap is gorgeous! Beautiful work.
And oh boy... Denny. At least it wasn't yarn or knitting related tools, right?
I think that was a good yarn choice!
Obviously Denny feels his diet is lacking fibre!
Elegant in it's simplicity. I hope this one is in the e-book.
Love the shawl, especially the edging. Now I'm going to have to add it to my queue - thanks!
That's really beautiful!
And clearly Denny wants/needs more fiber.
What a beautiful shawl Monika! I love it!
