After I finished the cushion at Christmas I needed something else to keep my hands occupied. So I unravelled this pullover and knitted it up again in a different pattern. This is nothing unusual for me. I don’t know why I always seem to choose the wrong designs the first time round. I liked the old pattern and loved the wool but it wasn’t really me.
I decided to knit a shrug. I didn’t realise how easy and fast they are. This was finished a couple of weeks ago but today I was wearing some suitable clothes for the modelling so I got the photographer to take these photos. It is based on the free pattern for a reversible lace rib shrug from elann. My wool was a little thinner than suggested so I had to adjust the number of stitches.
I didn’t have enough wool to knit the swing edge as long as the pattern said, but I think the length is fine for me. The best thing as far as I am concerned was there is no sewing together when you’re finished knitting. That is my least favourite part of knitting. I like the finished effect so I think the wool may stay knitted longer this time round
