Bound off the last stitch of my Finial Wrap yesterday! 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.

Light wasn’t great for photos today, but my Finial Wrap is coming along nicely. I’m working on the other part of designing—calculating specifications, finalizing charts, and writing instructions. It’s a different kind of fun for this ol’ tech writer. I’d like to publish this month. Fingers crossed!

My Finial Wrap’s edges are the last part to knit. Each side is 430 stitches, so no one will be surprised that I chose a simple pattern stitch! I also use it in the finials, so the edges help unite the overall design.

Oh my YES! These colors look amazing together, and my finials look wonderful in the Bright Aqua colorway of Seda Sock from Grinning Gargoyle. Not quite ready to show that part yet. 😋

After working out the details of the “finials” (ends) for my lace wrap, I’m ready to add them to my design sample. The 50% silk in Grinning Gargoyle’s Seda Sock will be stunning with Fidalgo Artisan Yarns’ Fidalgo Fingering.
