My lace shrug that formed part of my crafting intermission.
It was a really quick, easy and enjoyable knit, using lovely soft yarn. I'm really happy with how it came out...
It's a lovely shape and I have a feeling I'll make more in this style, perhaps with a different stitch pattern, longer sleeves, longer ribbing around the neck...
Slightly oversaturated picture to show off the lace pattern... It's simple but pretty and not too taxing for my lace-blind brain *laughs*
Yarn: 3 balls Cascade Dolce (bought from Las Vegas)
Modifications: I don't think I really made any, apart from making the ribbing on the sleeves and around the front a little longer than the pattern.
This was the first time I've used a provisional cast on, which went fine, and a 3 needle bind off for the underarm sections, which also went well. I like projects where I have to learn new skills *grins*
It's Friday, so you know what to do... Visit Tami's, Natural Suburbia and Wisdom Begins in Wonder. Have a great weekend
* Ok, so I usually try and find a quote or come up with a clever title, especially on a Friday, but as per the first paragraph of this post, I don't really have the mental capacity this week *laughs* Suggestions for a better title welcomed!
Hey that looks lovely on you! While I have no idea what a provisional cast on or 3 needle bind off are, I'd be tempted to try this, as it will keep my a bit cosy while accommodating my ever-increasing belly!!! Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteYour shrug looks great. Very tempting .... but ... ;-)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the Migraine :S Glad you're doing better - they can really knock you out, can't they?
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful lace pattern, definitely, and the style really suits you.
Hope you can get back to normal and enjoy your weekend!
That shrug is sassy! If I could ever get my weight back under control I would love to wear one. I hope your head is feeling better. Migraines and Sinus issues are not fun at all.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the colour especially.
ReplyDeleteI suffer with migraines so I totally sympathise. I hope you're feeling better.
I'm glad to hear that the headache has abated a bit. Migraines can be paralyzing!
ReplyDeleteGreat, shrug, too!

ReplyDeleteThat's really cute. Sorry to hear about your head.

ReplyDeleteUgh, migraines really suck. I hope that you have some respite from that awfulness. On a lighter note, the shrug looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThat shrug is gorgeous. Really beautiful! Sorry about the migraines, hope you are better now.

It's really cute! I absolutely love the colour. I struggled with provisional cast-ons for a long time until I tried the one where you crochet a long chain, and then pick up stitches in the back-side loops of the chain. Which one did you use?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! The color is just lovely and it looks great on you.
ReplyDeleteLove the color, and the shrug in general. I really need to learn provisional cast on and 3 needle bind off too :/
ReplyDeleteYour knitting amazes me! Gorgeous colour, and the shrug looks great on you :-) Hope you are feeling better!
