:shock: It’s done. :shock: I wasn’t sure that I was ever going to finish but… it’s pretty much done.
What is it? Well… it’s a shawl/wrap with sleeves kind of a thing. If someone knows the proper name, please let me know! I saw something very similar in a store but there was no way that I was going to pay $400 for it! So almost 3 months ago… I started knitting, and knitting, and knitting!
Here are the final stats:
creamy, off-white in color
1475 yards of yarn (that’s a lot of yarn!)
size 10 needles
cotton/wool blend
9 (nine!) feet long done in one peice with sleeve holes bound off
18 inches wide
basic 4, 6 and 8 stitch cables done with left and right twists
No Pattern involved - made it up as I went along!
It’s a serious winter item and… it’s 73 degrees today! :wall: My timing is a bit off. I’m not 100% happy with the sleeves so I may play with them a bit and see what can be done - they are just too big and loose where they join with the body. I think that I would like for them to be more fitted so this will take some thought and consideration. 
Other than the sleeves - I’m fairly impressed with myself. 
I’m posting 3 pictures showing the various ways that it can be worn: loose in the front, over one shoulder or over both shoulders. It’s fairly versitile.
Many, many thanks to Ingrid for her tremendous support! (I hope that you can see that I used your suggestion about the cables on the sleeves issue. 
) This is the very first time that I have ever seen something in a store and thought, “I can do that!” and then actually done it - without a pattern! What you see here is the reason that I have not had a single FO in months! I have been knitting but… this is all I’ve worked on.
:cheering: I finished it!!!

PS - the photos are in reverse order 
You can also see clearly the sleeve issue - looking at the photo I KNOW they are too big and loose. I will definitely have to address this because it looks wrong. Hey, I’ve got plenty of time! Can’t wear the thing until next winter! 
IT!
