Spring is finally here. The breezes are warmer, the flowers are out...and we are all feeling like it's darn tootin time. Everything is soo photogenic, and I couldn't resist taking a bunch of photos to share with you all.
Refreshing my memory of the "correct technique" for picking up stitches along the edges of the stockinette.
Trillions of hours later: picking up the 230 stitches to garter around the shrug.
The side of the shrug.
The back of the shrug, and why I am going to make version 2. The pattern and picot edging will stay, but it will be smaller lengthwise and widthwise and the garter boarder will be knit simultaneously with the lace. The yarn in the current shrug is great (I would use it again for the Abriana cardi), but who can resist a cashmere blend?
Beautiful shrug! And I love the blossom pictures, I live in orchard country so it's always beautiful here this time of year.
ReplyDeleteYour shrug is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat looks lovely on you!
ReplyDeleteThe blossom pictures are so stunning! I wish spring lasted a wee bit longer where I am. Texas simply runs full on into a very long, very hot summer. Today, however, is rather nice and surprisingly cool out. I'll enjoy it while it lasts..all 4 hours of it.
ReplyDeleteYour shrug is gorgeous! I love how it turned out!
