Silk shrug, where are you? Last time we saw you, you were blocking on Zarah’s laundry room floor. Has she been paying attention to you? Maybe giving you a sleeve? Or just ignoring you?
This was one of my many knitting cliff-hangers that I left you guys with, oh… quite a while ago now. I have good news and bad news about the shrug. First, the bad news of course. I have not been taking pictures of this thing as it goes along. Bad blogger! The goods news? Well, the shrug is progressing nicely! I finished the second sleeve last weekend while transitioning back into the real world from vacationland. I seamed up one sleeve last night, despite my husband’s constant interruptions about how cool the iPhone is and making me watch Steve Jobs’ keynote speech. =)
Hopefully I’ll be able to get the other sleeve done tonight or tomorrow and start working on the collar. I made the body quite a bit shorter than the pattern calls for (on Connie’s advice), but now I’m starting to get worried that the whole thing will be too small. I guess the only way to know for sure is to get that other sleeve seamed and try it on.
I think I’ve got the comments fixed now, sorry for any problems you might have had!
Luckily, shrugs are supposed to be small, so as long as it fits alright, it shoudl still look fine. I’m sure it will be so luxurious to wear, you’ll have to show us soon!
The real question is, are you going to beat Carol to the finish line!
The iPhone is nearly all my husband talked about last night, and walked me through every bit of the demo online. By the end of it, our 3 yo was asking me where my new phone was, LOL
Hey Zarah! Happy NY to ya! Glad you had fun in Colorado … the weather’s been pretty nasty since your trip! Just wanted to let you know that I’m planning on doing a half-marathon on April 1 with Cathi (In the pink) in downtown Littleton (Denver) … just a little bug in your ear.
Take care!
I had to go back and search to see what shrug your making (ARG! I’m so out of the loop!) but that pattern looks gorgeous. I can’t wait to see how it turns out.
you had me so scared for a minute! I thought you where going to say that you ripped it all out, or something horrible happened to it!! Glad to hear that its progressing nicely, can’t wait to see some action shots : )
That iPhone is way too cool. New, fun apple toys!
