I'm starting to believe I might actually be able to finish soon though. It's suddenly starting to take off. I decided to knit up the cuffs on the cast-on edge to give me a better idea of how far I'd come - I didn't want to risk suddenly having knit far too much. Especially since it's lace and I still haven't figured out how to unravel that and pick up the stitches again afterwards. I should probably put in a life line at some point...
Anyway, I'm digressing. As it's hard to model on myself, and my husband absolutely refuses (don't blame him!) I brought it to a friends' place last night to model it on her and get a proper idea of how much I still had left to go.
Pattern: Lost in Music Coverup
Yarn: Grignasco Champagne

ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteWhat a beautiful shrug. You really are almost done!
ReplyDeleteI am :D It's a great feeling.
DeleteThe shrug is gorgeous!!! Love the colour you have chosen for it, it is looking super!

My sister chose the colour herself. I think it'll look terrific with her white wedding dress.
DeleteIt is going to look fabulous.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful shrug and the colour is just gorgeous.

DeleteOh that is pretty! I have been thinking about making a shawl recently (probably because it is so cold where I am), I never thought of a shrug!
ReplyDeleteMy sister found this pattern on ravelry and loved the fact that it looked shawl-like, but she wouldn't have to hold on to it all night.
DeleteLovely!! This is a fun pattern, I'm going to have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteWow, I've never seen that pattern before. What a clever cover-up idea! I'm quite lucky; DH is usually quite happy to photograph whatever I want.
ReplyDeleteLovely work! Good luck with the rest of it.
ReplyDeleteHere's my WIP: http://mibruno.com/en-proceso-73/
Haha. I can't imagine how my husband would react if I asked him to model a lacy shrug. Probably similar to yours! :-D
ReplyDeleteYou're getting close! It looks great.
Yeah, some things he wouldn't mind modelling, but a lacy shrug isn't one of them. And even IF I could convince him a) it would be much too small for him. b) I wouldn't be allowed to take a photo and post it online ;)
DeleteThe color is very lovely and I like the cuff. Can't wait to see it finished.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great so far. I love the purple!
ReplyDeleteOHHH you don't have much further to go, do you! Great work (and I love that color - its very rich!)
