A Promise Kept

Last fall I read a National Geographic Article about Lima, Peru (The Lure of Lima, City of the Kings, June, 1930) just after I started knitting a "Ruana," a garment originating in Peru.  I promised to post a photo of the finished ruana in my blog, Monday, September 30, 2013, "Been to Lima Yet?"  It took fully six months to complete!  I am quite pleased with the results and have worn it frequently since it's been finished.

The Ruana is a one-piece 'wrap' that the front sections overlap each other.  It is made from 100% Peruvian Highland Wool and is very soft and warm.
