Finally got some pictures of my summer shrug I finished a few weeks ago. I was really excited about this project but not completely thrilled with the finished project. I was making up the pattern as I went along and definitely learned a lot - that part I’m pleased with, but the whole thing came out just a little too large (especially the sleeves). It’s Knit Picks shine in worsted and so super soft so I wear it a lot anyway. Now I just have to make another one that fits me better and write down the pattern while I do it! Thanks for looking everyone!
The same pictures are on my blog in a larger size if you want a closer look.
I agree…write down the pattern…that’s very clever of you. From the front with your arms extended as they are the sleeves actually look comfortable and not too big as such. There’s just a little bulge in the back. The colour really suits your complexion and the cabling style pattern is really lovely and should hold shape very well.
Thanks for the comments everyone! I had a lot of fun with this project - great learning experience. Also the satisfaction is so fast with a project this size, I think it took me 2 weeks at most to get it all together. I’ll get a modified pattern of some kind together in the next couple of days and post it when it’s ready. Thanks again!
