Is it just me or are capes and capelets really IN right now. It's a moment like this that I love when I can go into my knit library and find a book I bought years ago that still stands up!
Wrap Style features 24 wraps, caplets and a very popular shawl which was the reason I bought the book in the first place.
I think we often fear that we'll buy a knitting book and find that it is SO dated by the next year. To be honest it wasn't until I had a customer looking for a fun wrap to make that I pulled this book off the shelf. As we were flipping through the book I was getting more and more excited about the fact that I still wanted to make all those patterns! And did you know that it comes with wonderful instruction on how to make a cape of your own?
A sneak peek…
Pattern coming soon! (in the mean time check out Wrap Style, I know you won't be dissapointed!)
Oooh, I love the collar and the contrasting edge! Looks so cozy.

ooh, that looks so pretty!! I love caplets and wraps, too! I personally refuse to call them capelets, I don’t find they are cape-y at all- more like a shoulder cap!

I love this book too. I keep taking it out of the library — I guess I should suck it up and just buy it.

You inspired me to pull out my copy of that book. I’ve been wanting to make myself a small cape or poncho. That’s now moving up the list – after my Christmas knitting gets done.

See — that’s exactly why I can’t bear to part with any of my books! I still pull them out from 25 years ago and find things I want to make, maybe adding a few updates, and VOILA 🙂
