A great day for a shrug

By -


The weather is just a bit cooler and I decided to wear my shrug today. I cannot believe I was going to frog this soft, wonderful little thing. It really was on my list to frog. Honestly, what was I thinking? I'm sorry little shrug. You were perfect for today.

I have had fun going to all the contest participants websites. Thanks. Feel free to read the comments yourself and go hunting. I have to say a favorite was the beret that you turn inside out afterwards. Oh I am so sorry I cannot recall who gave me that tip, and I think it is your very own pattern too. It is on my must knits.

I'm starting the jacket sleeve after dinner tonight...........Please look good and make no holes......

Happy Weekend to everyone even if you are working. I am off work awhile and I find being home on weekends really strange. NOT complaining, just sayin'.


Please leave me your email or blog so I can thank you for your comment.

And why where you planning on frogging this shrug? It looks great, at least from the back view.

I'm looking forward to seeing your progress on the sweater, especially since you are matching colors. What colorway are you using in the Noro?

I'm glad you didn't frog the shrug too!!! It looks fantastic from the back and I'm sure it is even more so from the front! ;)

I am hooked on shrugs for some reason, a nice way to spice up short sleeves/tanks!

Yours looks great, BTW, what a good color!

Thank goodness you didn't frog it, it looks so soft and warm and it has nice fit. And I'm wondering how the front looks like too :)

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
