Morrison Wrap & Scarf

Posted on by Virginia

Morrison Wrap and Scarf

This gorgeous and lush design includes options for both the wrap and a scarf version. Knit with sumptuous Blue Sky Alpaca’s Metalico, it would look great dressed up or down and it looks much more complex than it is to knit!

Pattern offers both charted and written instructions.

Morrison Wrap and Scarf

Wrap measures 80×21 inches blocked. It used almost all of 7 skeins. To be on the safe side, you might consider purchasing 8. Shown in color Jade 1631.

Scarf measures 62×8 inches. It uses 3 skeins. Shown in color Turquoise 1635.

Continuing my series of scarves and wraps named after my favorite female authors, this wrap is named after Toni Morrison, whose work is so powerful, and so profound. Her books are not easy reads, or light stories, but are life changing and enduring.

Miles of Crochet

Posted on by Dan

A very audible sigh of relief was heard in the ScratchCraft household when the final loop was made on this piece.

Tropical Stripe Wrap

Twenty-four skeins of Spindrift were used to crochet this luxuriously substantial wrap. Let’s see, that’s 24 x 115 = approximately 2,760 yards of yarn, or about 1.57 miles of spun wool. That’s a lot of crochet (although, we have been spending some quality time in front of the television, to help the miles go by quicker).

Tropical Stripe Wrap

Virginia used a pattern by Kathy Merrick, called “Tropical Stripe Wrap” in the book Crochet in Color, deciding to play with 11 different colors of yarn.

And, as this is a shop model for the local yarn store,  we’ll have to wait a bit before enjoying being wrapped in all that wooly goodness.
