Last August, when my friend and I went to Loughrea for the middle ages festival we popped into a wool shop. While there, we found some beautiful King Cole Riot chunky yarn in the color moors. I bought the wool, and then started on a project for her as a “souvenir”.

The wrap took me months to make – but I think the colors and pattern turned out beautiful. One of my favorites (I didn’t add the fringe from the pattern) and it’s turned out huge – enough to wear almost as a small blanket… but it folds up nicely into a wrap/scarf or otherwise.

Insomnia Stole

Ever wonder what happens when one has insomnia for 2 nights? Well, here’s the answer….

2 nights insomnia, + 1 DVR and a series of Vikings, + 4 Balls of extra chunky thick yarn = 1 completed stole (or shawl / wrap / capelet) with a button.

Completed 5/3/2014 -Crochet stole wrap with button in extra chunky mottled yarn. Blue, maroon, gray. #handmade #handwork #crochetaddict #crochet #stole #wrap #cape #capelet #button #shawl #shellstitch #warm #masterofmyhobby #phoenixrosedesign #autumn

Not bad for one who couldn’t sleep eh?

A few closeups, because the colors in the top image are a bit strange – the actual colors in the yarn are a medium blue, maroon, and gray blend:

The completed stole laid flat.

Not bad for someone on virtually no sleep. 🙂
