Petal Stitch Wrap
It's DD#2's turn to shine! She fell in love with the Atacama hand dyed 100% Alpaca I bought over a year ago. I had earmarked it to make Elizabeth Zimmerman's twisted yoke sweater for myself but, as you know I got a little bogged down in the question of figuring out if I had enough yardage for it between the pink and the blue. It's what sparked my "top down versus bottom up" knitting experiments and while I was distracted knitting messed-up sweaters, she found it and convinced me she could make it into something really nice. Originally it was supposed to be a moebius but the stitch pattern was so pretty and airy it just had to hang freer so it morphed into a wrap. She used a Petal Mesh crochet Stitch from the Lion Brand online stitch library and worked until she ran out of yarn. You can't beat a beautiful yarn and stitch combination! Of course she's absconded with the blue-multi hand dyed Atacama 100% alpaca too and has started another wrap with a different stitch ..... needless to say this is my own fault, what with my yarn stash being too big to fit into a locking cupboard .... 
Oh she did a wonderful job! and it looks fabulous! WAY TO GO!

Nice job! That's an intersting stitch there. Yum, it looks delicious too, like raspberries miked with joghurt (and stirred quite well) :o)
