So, two posts in as many days! I’m sure you are simply reeling with excitement! Actually, this is an update that I promised a couple of days ago on my River Wrap/Cowl/Whatchamacallit.
Done. Blocked. Dry. Worn!! I love it. Simple to knit. Easy and versatile to wear. The Susurro softened beautifully and has a lovely glow about it. It only took a skein and a half for the largest size! This might even be something to knit for someone for gift giving.
The only thing I did differently was to do a pick up/bind off along the short edges of the split “hem.” I don’t know if that was even necessary, but I thought it would add some stability. The yarn called for, DanDoh Yarn Silk +, is lighter weight and marled. Beautiful! Anything kind of lightweight, lineny/raw silky, would work well. Shibui Twig comes to mind.
PS to Augusta: I did not block the long strip before I picked up the top part.
Gorgeous!

Stunning! Your use of Sursurro inspired me to make this, as I have some from a frogged project! Thanks!

Hi Susan,
A question about your lovely River – did you block the bottom band before picking up for the top?
