Shrug

While we were in Columbus this summer, my daughter picked up this pattern. She tells me that a shrug is perfect for work because it isn't bulky like a normal sweater, but keeps her shoulders warm where the office air conditioner blows in the middle of winter (oh yeah - I know all about that! She still hasn't chosen which yarn she would like, but I thought I would like to do a test shrug to see how it turned out. I couldn't just let that new pattern sit there! This is the result.

I dug into my recently organized stash and found enough Patons Canadiana in this pretty seafoam colour. It only took a couple of days and it was finished. Then I coerced one of the young'uns at work to model it for me.

It was so easy and lots of fun to make. It is really just a long scarf with the ends sewn into sleeves and a ruffle knit around the edges.
