My ensemble is complete – the Paulie cardigan, a woven stole, and the Cherries on Top T-shirt, all made
with Magnolia in my favorite summer colors.
The finished wrap is very soft and satiny to the touch and I love how
the three colors of Magnolia worked beautifully together. My finished
measurements turned out to be 14½” wide by 77” in length before
laundering and without the fringe. I expect it will be shorter after
washing it which will compress the threads together somewhat. I hem
stitched the beginning and the end, but haven’t decided what to do
with the fringe. I don’t intend to leave it that long but until I decide, I
won’t shorten it. I may twist the ends together or tie them into groups,
both of which are easier to do when it’s long. I may just cut them back
to 1” but I have plenty of time to decide before the warmer weather
actually gets here. And I did need to go into the second skein of the
Frayed Denim to finish the project, but 1 skein of each Citrus Leaf and
Key Lime did the trick.
I’m really pleased with how well these projects turned out. Working
with Magnolia was wonderful and I love the colors I chose. If you
recall back on Day 1, I stated that I changed my project plan a little
once the yarn arrived. I had originally planned on knitting a tank top,
but changed to the T-shirt. Now that everything is done and I have
a little bit of each color left, I think I’ll make a tank top. If I’m short on
yarn, I’ll just have to take a trip to my LYS and ask for another skein of
Universal Yarn Magnolia. Though, I expect I’m likely to leave the store
with more than a skein once I see some of the other 14 colors.
