Hey look, I knit something! This is the Wonder Woman Wrap by Carissa Browning<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I must confess that while I have liked Wonder Woman since I was a kid, I have never been particularly interested in the comics or anything and have not seen the new movie yet. I’m also sort of tired of pop culture so knitting what is essentially a big comic book character logo is not anything I would have foreseen myself doing six months ago.<\/p>\n

HOWEVER… I am interested in the construction of things and the construction of this baffled me as it uses short rows to do the shaping. So I wanted to knit it to see how it worked. The pattern is free and I happened to have some elderly Shibui Sock in my stash that would work (I don’t think they even make Shibui Sock anymore, that’s how long it’s been in my stash) so I impulsively cast on.<\/p>\n

It took me about a month of just knitting on it during the weekends, but I finished last weekend, blocked it, and now it’s done. The construction is very clever for that middle yellow stripe. Those were my favorite things to knit, even though one of them is all purling.<\/p>\n

It blocked out much bigger and is over six feet long tip to tip.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a>It turned out great! And it’s nice to actually finish a project for once. I haven’t been doing too much of that lately. :\/<\/p>\n
