I dont have any pictures of said shrug, but you can see my progress bar on the right hand side of this blog. You can also see the yarn that I am using to make said shrug. You have seen it before on a few other projects:

Working on a shrug
I am back knitting and taking months off has taken its toll. I am not nearly as fast as I was last season, but I am sure by the end of this shrug, I will be close. It is in the vintage seal brown that I adore so much. I was trying to get it [...]
The finished Raglan
I did finish I just didnt post it. i am not happy with it. The collar fit differently when I was trying it on in process. Now it’s too far back on my neck and I abhor it. There was this weird gap under my armpit, so I fixed that. There was also a weird [...]
On the sleeves
I am now finishing the first of the 2 sleeves on the sweater. I think it is going to be a quarter sleeve instead ofa long sleeve. It just doesn’t seem to be telling me it wants long sleeves. It is coming out really great. I did make one kind of annoying mistake on the [...]
Knit It Down, Top down sweater
Okay so this was first thing this morning. I am now under the arms and working my way down to the next set of decreases. Joyful. I made some major changes, as in the yoke and collar. No way I was going to waste all that yarn for a collar to flap off the back [...]
I lied, so sue me
I said I was casting on the Shaded Tunic today, but I switched it over to the Knit It Down top down Sweater in the January 2008 issue. Why? Well I re-read the instructions and I need BULKY yarn with size 11 needles, the 10s are for the collar only. I decided to regauge the [...]
Shaded Tunic start and Cable Tank progress
So this is the beginning of the Shaded Tweed Tunic in the January ’08 issue of Creative Knitting. I finally got the size 10 circulars I needed. They will come in handy for a few other projects that are on my list. I wonder if I will deviate from the pattern at all, since I [...]
Loosely Cabled Tank Top
So this is my newest project on the needles. I only cast it on last night. This is being made from 100% cotton by Peaches & Creme that I got in a pound cone from a Raveler. My mother got the pink cone and was already happily making things with it the day I gave [...]
The Whisp
So I decided to start another project while I am working on a freeform pattern for something else with the Peaches & Creme Cotton. This is the perfect pattern for my Flurri by Lana Morro. It’s called Wisp. Check it out on knitty.com. The other thing I wont take a picture of until it gets [...]
that 70s shrug is complete
I had some minor problems, like the back rolled down so I had to add the cinch string around the top. I had to redo the cast off, because it was so tight I couldn’t put it on. All in all, my first attempt at designing off the cuff in knitting came out rather nicely. [...]
