FO - Shetland Shorty for Francis

Hi all!

I thought I’d share my latest FO.

This is my second Shetland Shorty. It’s a free pattern available here.

I made it for one of my students who had admired the first one I made for myself.

I used 1.8 skeins of SWTC Bamboo. The colorway is Black. I made the small size.

I cast on when we left for our Thanksgiving cruise and worked on it throughout my seven-night vacation (thank you, in-law’s, for paying for this trip!).

The shrug visited Grand Turk…

Puerto Rico…

And St. Thomas (no picture for this island…we were too busy that day!!).

I stayed up until 1:30am this morning to finish it up. My daughter took these pictures of me modeling it…

It only took me a couple of weeks to knit. It shouldn’t have even taken this long as the pattern is easy, but life is busy, and I had to work on it whenever I had a few spare minutes.

I’ll be gifting this tomorrow, and I can’t wait! This student and I have a special bond, which I consider a blessing considering that I’m not a regular teacher but just a sub!

Thanks for looking!! :muah:

It turned out great! She will LOVE it!

It looks great!

Oh my!!! Another WINNER of a shortie sweater!!! Looks just wonderful!!!

Looks great! Nice job.

Nathalie, you are so sweet and thoughtful :hug: The shrug is awesome – I’m sure she’ll love it!

Thanks all! It was a love-fest when we exchanged gifts. Some students really touch your heart. I love my job!

Here’s what she made for me…
