I'm working on Ashley's shrug now. She's 5'6" and likes extra long sleeves. I'm making her shrug with the needles the pattern called for and am making each section 24-25" long (roughly 4 stripes plus the cuff). Her's is a tone-on-tone pink shrug, using two dyelots of the same Lion Brand Lt. Pink 101. One dyelot is considerable paler than the other so I'm making a striped shrug -- 3" cuffs (lt. pink), 5" stripe (darker pink), 2nd 5" stripe (lt. pink) etc.
My passions are knitting, gardening, my family and restoring the 1903 house where I was raised! I've created a series of blogs to share what I've learned and to document what I've accomplished in knitting and remodeling, with a few digressions (especially about gardening!) along the way.
