Pattern/Technique: Moving Forward Wrap by Denise Bayron
Modifications: none
Materials: 3 skeins A Verb for Keeping Warm Floating in Current
US5 needles (for cast on / bind off), US4 needles for main fabric
Wet blocked using blocking wires
New skills: German Twisted Cast on, Modified Icelandic Bind Off
Lessons: I wasn't sure which bind off to use, as the pattern didn't provide a recommendation, and I was a concerned using a standard knit bind off given the yarn overs and center double decrease on the knit side. I looked through other knitters' projects on Ravelry (and learned you can filter by projects with notes & projects marked helpful—incredibly useful) and found weckum's recommendation to use a modified Icelandic bind off. I used this tutorial from Strands of Life.
Floating doesn't have much elasticity (but drapes beautifully) so I changed yarn balls at the edges because I figured the loose ends would be easier to hide along the edges. I also tried to change balls in stockinette/garter sections to facilitate weaving in the ends.
What I'd do differently: I might make this in a springy yarn (like AVFKW Flock) to get a slightly stiffer fabric to really accentuate the points in the chevron.
Care: Hand wash, lay flat to dry.
