Lacey wrap

[badrhinogillett]

I made this wrap out of some fancy yarn I got at the CGOA show. I've made it to cover up the fact that when I go to my 20th high school reunion next month, I'll be 8 1/2 months pregnant... o.k., so you can't really cover up a belly that size, but I like to have my illusions .

 

The yarn is very soft and shimmery, I hope the second picture can show the detail of the yarn:

It does look so nice to wear, and it looks good on you too!

Beautiful Kathryn! But just wear it over your shoulders. You want to show that belly off proudly!

The wrap is gorgeous, and looks so elegant! I'm sure it will be a hit at the reunion.

The shawl is lovely, but why would you want to hide the fact that you're pregnant, that's the one time it's "cool" to have a belly!

Thank you everyone. I'm not trying to hide being pregnant... just trying to maybe minimze feeling gigantic! I do realize that I'lll be one of the few people there with a really good excuse for the weight difference... this will help me feel a little prettier, since Maternity dresses aren't exactly something that make you feel your best!

 

I was able to find the yarn online since my first post. If you are interested, it's found at www.newtons.com It is a company out of Southern California. The yarn I used was a Rayon Chenille. Probably the fanciest yarn I've ever crocheted with. That made it all the more fun to do. I'm normally using yarns I can find at Michael's, and am perfectly happy with that, but WOW.. getting your hands on some really fancy stuff is fun!
