Unsurprisingly, today is cold (this is England you know, but today started with 13C degrees here)
but it's a perfect day to wear my finally finished wrap, that I quietly started last winter.
It's made with recycled wool Rowan Renew in Truck 686, which I have to admit it's very warm (maybe too warm for Summer?) although I was concerned while I was knitting it because a bit stiff but eventually became softer after washing it.

I followed the pattern on Rowan Purelife Autumn 2010.
The shoes are kind of vintage Italians made for a shop I used to work for
I like them so much that I rarely wear them now, because I have the bad habit to wear
my fav shoes until I have holes in the soles.
(Never mind the carpet, which I hate).
Have a good day.

Oh I love it, Alessandra! It's so beautiful... Love the colour and I love the pattern too - I wish there were crochet patterns so nice. Your shoes are just divine - my favourite kind of shoes actually :) Hope it gets warmer for you soon! Kx
Love your look !
Ohhh! Why is so cold? Next week I'm going to England, and I wanted to bring with me my summer dresses! I guess it's not a good idea!
What you've done is really cute!! :)
Thanks Lisa, Kylie and Fliss.
Neuss, the problem here is that one day can be 30C and the next 15C, so if I can give some advice dress like an onion :) I mean, put layers, you certainly will need a raincoat, one warm cardi, your summer dresses and sun cream. Enjoy your visit and thank you!
@ Kylie: don't you knit?
you look so beautiful!
ps: the carpet is not so bad ;-)

Hello Alessandra;
That's one lovely wrap, beautiful colour. Wish I had one over here, it's been a cold, cold summer so far.
(After lots and lots of problems with my blog, seems like I'm finally able to post and comment).
Thank you for your lovely comments; I think of you often.
Love
Lilli

I do understand,I always wear the same shoe,use the same bag until they are hole or broken zipper..then I have to sent them to repair :-( and I have to start looking for my new favourite items.
The climate changing a lot this year,Take care :-)
that wrap is wonderful!
here, it's been raining all through the night into the morning. still very, very grey. we had some sunny days too. kind of feels like april & june mixed together this year...
Wow I love it! I wish today the sun shines!
lovely work Alessandra. i too am working the layers!
oh, i love this kind of garments, they're so cosy and yours look wonderful.
what about the weather, the same in Belgium and i completely understand your shoe dilemma :^)
I love them :)
apparently we're in the same weather patterns as you. oakland, california has been cold all week.

i love it. that yarn looks so cuddly.
It’s amazing Alessandra. And I looove the shoes..in fact, I looove your look :) Bloody English weather. I’ve lived here all my 32 years and I still can’t get my head around the supposed summer season. Hmph x
