Episode 513 – All Wrapped Up

A wrap can keep you warm on a chilly night, give the finishing touch to an evening dress, or add that perfect extra layer for a pulled-together look. On this epsiode of Knitting Daily TV we're celebrating the wrap. We have ideas for unique lace stitches to maximize drape and two different edgings–one knit, the other crochet.
