Quaker Yarn Stretcher

 I bought some jeans for Mary's wedding that I did not end up wearing.  I hope to wear them a bit this fall. They have a very pretty pattern on them....and I thought it would be fun to have something knitted to wear with them.  I love both possible projects.  I will start them tonight.  

First is going to be the Quaker yarn stretcher.  I used this pattern several years ago.  This time I am going to make it with a Cascade Yarn called Tangier.  I have approx 440 yards and it is an Aran weight yarn.  The yarn says US 8-9 needles.  The pattern calls for using size 10 needles for worsted weight yarn.  The loose guage causes the yarn  to go further.  Below is a photo of a finished shawl in a different yarn but somewhat similar to the yarn I will use.

Hopefully it will be as pretty as the one above and the one below:

Here is the finished Wrap:
