Everybody Say Ya!

Finally, finally, the wrap I started last summer is done. In a year and a half, it has gone from a Value Village recycled sweater, to this Sea and Shells Stole. It will be a Christmas gift for my niece. She's at prom age and this would be lovely with a summery dress. If she doesn't care for stoles, she can always wear it bunched up as a winter scarf. Now, of course, I have to knit something for her sister as well. Something that doesn't take a year!
