It’s cold today! 84 degrees yeterday, 57 today. What a difference a day makes! For this and so many other reasons, I’m happy to welcome this new iteration of my Garnet Wrap, a Celtic celebration.
The Garnet Wrap is inspired by the Celtic moorland where moist turf and leaden skies conspire to brew dense earthy fogs. This lush rectangular wrap juxtaposes a deeply etched Celtic braid with simple fields of Stockinette. Classic ribbing touched with eyelets provides a strong yet elegant edge. Garnet is generously sized for maximum coziness and doubles beautifully as a sofa throw.
Imagine this Celtic wrap styled with a pleated skirt and knee high boots or layered handsomely over a cropped denim jacket. Add a big pewter shawl pin for an extra kiss of the Celtic.
The unique texture and rich surface of the Garnet Wrap is due to the extraordinary Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran Tweed (in color #124, Jewel), a blend of wool, silk and cashmere. With its airy woolen spun hand and silky texture, Silkroad Aran Tweed provides superior handling for cables, soft sponginess, lightness for the wearer and stunning color saturation. I’m thinking of a color work sweater…hmmmmm.
To celebrate the return of the Garnet Wrap, I’d like to offer a discount on this lush and cozy cabled project. Through Friday, November 8, 2019, get the Garnet Wrap pattern for just $4.50. That’s a 40% savings! Just hop on over to my Ravelry shop, choose the Garnet Wrap pattern and use the coupon code CELTIC3 at checkout. I hope you’ll enjoy a cozy, snuggly knit as we lead into the holidays.
Love,
Cheryl
