Finished purple ruanas, and the start of the next baby wrap

I know. I said I wasn't going to do baby wraps for awhile. But, I have a mother who has one of my wraps, and asked me so nicely to make another for her brand new baby. And well.... Here I go again! The yarn got in today, and I'm excited to get working. I'll put three wraps on this warp. One for my mama client, one to be sacrificed to the new testing regulations, and one more to be available to the public. She made some lovely color choices on this one, don't you think?

And in the meanwhile, the two purple ruanas that were spoken for are complete and ready to go to their new homes! The one on the left has the dark purple weft, and the one on the right has the light silver grey weft. It is amazing how much difference that makes to the overall look of the piece!

I have one more purple ruana to finish up today, and get listed for the Etsy shop. And then, it is baby wrap time! I want to get that project done start to finish in three weeks time, so I can get it shipped off before I take off for my vacation/family reunion on Lake of the Woods, Ontario. (Is it time yet??)


I've been going to this particular lake for vacations since I was a teething babe in arms. It is where I went on my honeymoon with my husband Eric. It has been the one constant in my life. And I want to go home...

  2. I wonder if and when those regulations will come to pass......baby wraps have been profitable to me, but they can be a royal pain. I love the ruanas, they turned out spectacularly. I am wondering the length?? That lake looks like heaven....I grew up on Lake George in the Adirondacks, I feel the same way about that.

    1. The first campground that I went to on that lake was called Paradise Point. It lived up to the name. :)

      Thanks for your kind words on the purple ruanas! They are the same length as the last batch of blue-green ones. You can see me modeling them at the Grand Canyon down in this post: http://tangibledaydreams.blogspot.com/2017/05/northern-arizona-road-trip-part-2-elf.html

    1. Thank you!! I delivered those two to their happy new owners this past weekend. One more left to find a home for. I love seeing folks' eyes light up when they get their commission piece in their hands. :)
