Wonder Woman Wrap - Finished!

After finishing up my Mrs. Watson I returned to my Wonder Woman Wrap and quickly finished it up.  Having a snow day definitely helped, but this was actually a pretty quick knit.  The pattern is extremely well-written and I was delighted to discover that my stitch counts matched at every check point.  I watched the series with Lynda Carter when I was growing up and have always liked the character.  The recent revelations about her origins and the content of the comic books has been eye-opening, but I never actually read the comics, so I missed all of that subtext.  The new Wonder Woman movie was fun and I liked Gal Gadot in the role.  There was also a fun one years ago with Cathy Lee Crosby and Ricardo Montalban. I still remember his final line after he has been thwarted by Wonder Woman: "Beauty and brains.  Never trust a woman that has both."  I probably should be offended by that line, but I think it only applies if you are a bad guy and you're worried about getting thwarted by a smart and beautiful woman.

Wonder Woman Wrap - Cast On

I finished up my Violet Valentine and my Bright & Bold shawl last week, so I figured it was okay to cast on a new project.  I have had this one in my library since the holiday season and had a spreadsheet already set up for it so all I had to do was wind the skeins.  The pattern is very well written and it was easy to expand out into my spreadsheet.  You have to use markers in this one, and I stuck a split marker on the right side so I wouldn't get confused.  You can see the W forming already.  I'm about to start with the yellow.

The yarn I picked for this project is Cascade Yarns Heritage Silk in Sunflower and Christmas Red, which I purchased at the Loopy Ewe last year.  It is a light fingering (437 yards/100 grams) and is 85% Merino Superwash Wool / 15% Mulberry Silk.  It is wonderful to work with.
