Bound off the last stitch of my Finial Wrap today! Now it’s a plump roll of unblocked knitting. Much to do before I publish the pattern, but I develop and test instructions and charts as I go.

Hard at work, fumbling my way through repeated k3, p1tbl along the second edge of my Finial Wrap. I even put on pants. 😆

One edge of Jamie McCanless’ Finial Wrap design, seen close up. Each side is 430 stitches, so the simple pattern stitch is a very good thing!

My Finial Wrap’s edges are the last part to knit. Each side is 430 stitches, so it's no surprise I chose a simple pattern stitch! It's also in the finials, so the edges help unite the design.

Oh my YES! These colors look amazing together, and my finials look wonderful in the bright aqua. Not quite ready to show that part yet. 😋

Design sample-in-progress of Jamie McCanless’ Finial Wrap, featuring Fidalgo Artisan Yarns’ Fidalgo Fingering for the lace panel and Grinning Gargoyle’s Seda Sock for the finials (ends).

Ready to add “finials” (ends) to my lace Finial Wrap sample. The 50% silk in Grinning Gargoyle’s Seda Sock will be stunning with Fidalgo Artisan Yarns’ Fidalgo Fingering.
