Mt. Tango Targhee

8 oz of Top from MT. Colors
Spun 2-ply
Grafting the 2 ends in the middle
Blocking
Another FO!
Spinner/Knitter: Rebecca
Fiber: Mt. Colors Targhee in the Mountain Tango colorway. Fiber purchased from Woodland Wool Works in June 2006 and spun during 4 days in November, 2006. I came out with about 600 yards of maybe DK weight ~ I forgot to check wpi.
Knitting: Began on December 5th, 2007 and finished December 13th, 2007. The pattern is my own. I took the Lilly of the Valley from Barbara Walker and began two pieces on the same 32" 5mm needle, thus ensuring the two ends have the scallop that I love. I used the bobble only through the first three repeats and then left it out as it uses a lot of yarn and who really likes being slowed down by bobbles anyway? When I was almost out of yarn, I kitchenered my two halves together and waa-la! Wrap!

Wowza! What a lovely wrap. I just love the MT Targhee and their colors--did you use this as singles or plied? Can't wait to see it.
