Christie Austin & The Wrap

Christie's just sent these beautiful images of her recent sessions using the wrap. I believe she used the Cornflower and amped up the colors in post processing. I just love the effect. You can see more of Christie's work on her website.

Thank you Christie!


hmmm....a new design?



I have been playing with new ideas lately. And this one I seem to love. It is a little more involved than the original "Wrap". But I think the effect is just beautiful. They will be offered in several color ways, the samples are still in process and will be posted when they become available for sale.

I would love some comments and feedback on the new look!

Availability Update

Well, we are almost through the newest batch of orders. Thank you all, we were slightly overwhelmed, but gratefully so.

It did not go without any glitches though. Since all of our yarns were pre-ordered before we began pre-selling, but it turns out that our supplier neglected to tell us that they were back ordered on the Cornflower color. We have been dealing with them for the last two weeks, and have since found some new suppliers. The other colors are just about complete and will be getting into the mail this week (except Cornflower).

We have also learned that the rest of the colors in the similar yarn have been discontinued. So this will be the end of that line. Sorbet, Fawn, Jade, Cornflower and Poppy will no longer be available. We have over ordered some, and will make those availabls once we get them. You all will be notified when those are available.

Espresso and Vanilla will still be available for now. You will get a newsletter when we begin taking new orders.

Thank you all for your patience and understanding.

Orders Stopped!

Phew....you guys are keeping me busy! I have been processing orders ALL day!

I am going to have to stop taking orders for now. My suppliers are running low, and I need to take stock and see what I can get a hold of. Also I have to make sure I can get them all done!

Currently we are on schedule for delivery by the end of the month. I have just processed the last orders. If you got your email today with your reservation your order is in, and will be processed.

Once I take stock and know how much more yarn I can get I will send out an email letting you know that orders are being taken again.

In the meantime, if you have not currently contacted me, be sure to subscribe to the Newsletter. You will be informed this way when more items are available.

Thank you all for your orders!

How I Use My Wrap

I love The Wrap myself. Since using it, my new customers request it for their sessions, and over 50 wraps have already been sold around the world.




I have more newborns coming this month and next month, so always check back for more posts.

The Colors & How to Order



Thank you all for sharing the info about my wraps. It turns out that people are finding their way to {the blog} searching to find the wraps. So here goes the colors and information about the wraps.


"This little wrap was created for my own use for my photography business. I had a busy summer with newborns and searched high and low for blankets with great texture and color. Finally resorting to my love of knitting and crocheting, I decided to make my own.

The Wrap is created out of a fun, chunky, textured and soft yarn. I have purposely created is small. It will measure (give or take) 24" by 24". The reason for the small nature is that it is to be used with newborns and I wanted to omit the extra bulk of other blankets, scarves, etc. This is just big enough to stretch and swaddle a newborn and tuck under without appear too bulky, but still retaining its amazing texture. It has a lot of stretch and loose crochet to allow for skin to show through and retain a unique look. As you can see from the photos this looks wonderful in color and black and white.

I am offering 7 colors. (click on the color to see images of this color, or scroll down)

Jade - currently Sold Out
Cornflower
Poppy
Sorbet(pink)
