Blizzard wrap

(Yes, it is still blocking, why do you ask? :)

Thanks to my lovely mother, I have a nice new wrap for the holidays. She gave me a gift certificate to The Yarn Shop for x-mas and with it I bought the yarn to make this wrap. It's Reynold's Blizzard, very possibly the softest thing I have ever touched (except, perhaps, for a bunny). It's 65% alpaca and 35% acylic, and it's absolutely delightful. I love it. Thanks, mom!

Yeah, the wrap is a bit on the airy side, but I wanted to make full use of the four skeins I got. It's just a basic net pattern with shells as a border. It's about 18" wide and maybe 4' long. And since Blizzard is a super bulky yarn, it took me only about 3 hours to stitch up with a 10.5 mm hook.

If you can, just pet this yarn. You'll thank me for it!
