          @sydsgma1,

 

                  I can 'only' envision Heart how beautiful this ..

 

((you with loved artistic hands)).. will be.

 

                         I treasure your talent~

 

  I am an artist;my get-a-way decompression from being in medicine; death, pain, and the questionable health of today~...

                    but never -even- tried when mother 'tried' to teach me knitting or crocheting.

            I'll never have that chance again. 

   

hugs, "to you" dear special friend.

                          You have such warmth in your postings. 

 

  NAES

Not on me.  I find them to be a total pain.  I don't like myself wrapped up in something.

Re: Anyone into Ruanas or Wraps?

LipstickDiva, that's why I prefer something that opens in the front and just drapes across the arms..  Panchos are a little claustrophobic for me.  The only problem that I have found with ruanas and wraps are going to the bathroom.  Ya just have to be sure you don't get the "tail" in the tollet! Woman LOL

 

I have four ruanas from Walmart, one from Zulily and one from Sears. All were inexpensive, but really cute and certainly affordable.  I am 5'7" so I have enough height to not drag them on the ground!!!:Woman Wink

[ Edited ]

@ID2 @Lipstickdiva @chihuahuamom I keep my ruana near the laundry room back door where I exit to go to work, and on cold mornings I run it in the dryer for 5 min. to heat it up. I put it over my jacket or on my lap on the way to work. I live in NC and don’t wear really heavy coats. Don’t like the bulk of a ruana or poncho for regular daily wear on my straight figure, but love the toasty extra warmth.

The concept is great but the execution is lacking. Besides I have worked too hard to get and keep my figure to hide it under yards of cloth or knit.
