I thought this was the first garment type thing that I've made for myself but I was wrong. I made the ChicKami back in 2007. I forgot all about it till I was switching out my winter/summer clothes. I don't think I even wore it last year. Excuse the picture Roo took it and well I'm taller than her and plus the tank needs a good blocking.
Ok back to the wrap for details...
Pattern: Shetland Shorty Wrap from Knitty
Yarn: Cascade Yarn Cotton Rich DK (5 skeins)
Needle: US 3 and 2
Mods: I only did 13 repeats for sections
Size: Small but it's a bit big esp in the arms...hoping a block will help them lay better
Frogged: oh about 4 times---1)Didn't read the pattern right and casted on way to many sts...2)Had to change needle size...3) Had to change size making...4)I know there was a reason but can't remember : )
Time: OH it took awhile cause I got bored.
Thanks to Auburnchick for knitting this first, that is where I seen it and knew I had to make myself one : )
I also then made this bookmark for Isaiah's teacher
Pattern: Tell Me a Tail Bookmark
Yarn: Left over sock yarn I think it's KP's Gloss
Needle: Size 1
Mods: None
Time: maybe an hour if that
I also made her a coaster, this was suppose to be a set of 4 but HA! I'm lucky to have this one done. I figured well I've did some crochet before I can figure this out. I need to thank Denise at the VacShak for helping me with round 2 and understanding what a post is. I need to thank mom for helping me last night on the phone for over an hour! Round 3 was a doozy for me : )
Pattern: Springtime Coasters
Yarn: Plymouth Fantasy Naturale (left over)
Crochet Hook: G
Time: FOREVER!
So now I'm working on a shawl and another felted bag : )
I hope you all have a wonderful day of knitting!

Love the wrap. I couldn't figure out in my mine what you were making when you said a tank top wrap. I really like it. You did a very good job on the coaster. Tell JD we still need that web cam. lol Would make learning crochet over the internet easier. Tell Ruthie she did a great job on the pictures. Love you guys. Mom
Thank you all so much for the lovely comments! Roo loves taking the pictures...maybe one day she will be a famous photographer : )
