The re-imagining of Lady E

Back in 2008 i knit a lovely stole. Unfortunately i found it too impractical to wear it and for the last six years i have just looked longingly at it. Well, yesterday i began the task of making it into something i know i will love!

I am going to make a snuggly hooded wrap with it for those cooler evenings when i don't quite need a whole blanket but i want something to wrap round me.

The Christmas before last Becky gave me two balls of Marble Chunky in red and reddy-purple shades so i am going to take the plunge and attempt the braided effect that i have always wanted to try. I think the three colour ways will go well together, there is a lovely contrast between the turquoise and red and purple and dark blue colours, we shall see! I am using the Venus Tips Up pattern as a starting point and will add the hood onto the corner after the main body is knit.

Theoretically!!
