Well, third time was the charm with this fabulously romantic crochet shrug. I started this project in a really awesome muddy cotton about a month ago, and ran out before I got to the sleeves. Then I gave it a whirl with a too-thick Vanna White acrylic yarn and gave up midway through because I HATED the thick and scratchiness of it. Then I got seriously sidetracked with those INCREDIBLY rewarding-to-make crochet cradle purses (I've made 3 and counting). But then, I committed full-heartedly and with a ready supply of Lionbrand Microspun yarn and here is the result! The design is really fun to do and surprisingly quick, in fact, if it weren't for little Y-dizzle, I think one might be able to whip these out in a day or two, just need a stack of good movies (I worked on mine in the wee hours of the night while watching the latest season of Big Love on On Demand, nothing like a drama to keep those stitches coming :P haha). Anyways, I was stoked about this, especially after seeing what it looked like on my brother's adorable girlfriend (my super good sport of a model!) I had to make the tiniest version because I wanted it to go quickly . . . after seeing the result, however, I am inspired to make a larger version for myself. I'm thinking of just making it in white and dying it . . . ooooooo, maybe even dip-dye. Carly knows I loves me some dip dyes :)
Anyways, the sweater is up for sale in the SHOP along with some other "new" items I never got around to posting.
