Shrug/Bolero WIP with Photo

I’m hoping that by posting this WIP photo here, I’ll actually feel accountable to finish it! I try to tackle a new technique with each project, and this one has 2 - dpns and joining sleeves :shock: Send me good vibes please :smiley:

When I’m wearing the FO, I’ll post another photo and get clearance to copy out the pattern from my LYS if anyone wants it.

LOVE seeing everyone’s work - keep at it!

:inlove: Love the color!

Thanks!! An ebay steal - and the seller (in the UK) threw in an extra skein to give me the exact amount I needed. It’s the small, random acts of kindness that keep us going :wink:

Oh, please do post if you get clearance. Looks so nice! Love the color! Cannot wait to see the fo!

Here are some good vibes ~ :XX: :sunny:

Thirded… :heart: the color! What kind of yarn is it? It looks GREAT!

Absolutely beauteous!

The color really is greate! Was it a regular ebay-seller with a shop? If so could you tell the name?(as if I need more yarn :rollseyes: )
Can’t wait to see it finished!

Is there an echo in here? I love the color, too! It’s looking really nice. I use the same page protectors for my patterns! :wink:

Beautiful!! Can’t wait to see it completed!!

Great idea to use page protectors for patterns!

VERRRY nice! That yarn has such a nice SHEEN to it!

Wow! Beautiful! :inlove: :inlove: I love the color and the sheen, too. What kind of yarn is it?

Pretty color!!! Looks nice and soft too. Can’t wait to see it finished!!

WOW!! What a total boost to read all these responses! Thanks to each of you for the compliments :blush: :blush:

Here are the yarn details:

It’s Berrocco Cotton Twist
Color = “Soul” (#8387)
1.75 oz(50g)/85 yds(78m) per skein (the shrug takes 8 skeins)
70% Mercerized Cotton / 30% Rayon <–I think that makes the “sheen”

Gauge = 4.75sts/in on #8 needles
I’m using size 5 and 6 needles for different parts of the shrug to match the pattern gauge

ebay $$ Info
On ebay I bought from a seller named Linda Marsh almost 9 months ago (if I find her ID I’ll add it here)
I paid $15.52 for 7 skeins and she added an 8th for free - can you beat that??! Knitters rock.

Regular retail pricing…click here for a site that has a decent price.

Ditto everyone else…the color and sheen are fabulous. It looks so pretty with your skin.

Gorgeous!! Add my vote to loving the color! Please keep us updated.

Ditto what everyone else said! The color is gorgeous!! Can’t wait to see the FO!
