Argosy finito!

I am very pleased with this. Readers who saw my earlier postings will know this pattern is from the In a Happy Camper site ( link left ). It's warm, which is very necessary at the moment and I will probably make another in a lighter weight yarn. I will make the next one a little wider, but had this one been wider, and therefore heavier, I think it would have been too much.

The pattern quotes 8 balls of Noro Kureyon with very little left over, but I was into the 9th by the time I'd finished. This is no hardship as I can use the remaining yarn in freeform projects. I blocked the wrap by steaming it over a dry cloth and it has worked a treat. There is no bed in the house long enough to take this without folding and I could not block it on the carpet in case furry friends decided to take up residence on it.

Back to work tmrw after the Easter break - a busy week with a follow up visit to hospital and the return of the prodigal son from Canada. Happy days!
