This afternoon I finished the shrug I was making from Tirua.It was a very quick knit made quicker by me running out of yarn. hmmm.
I was only able to work six rows after binding off the sleeves.
I think I should have used a size 11 needle after all. I think my gauge ended up sliding off at some point.
Boy howdy, I saw people on Ravelry saying this pattern ran small, but this thing is wee!
It's 8 inches long in the back and 12 inches across at the underarm. This all makes it a little on the snug side.
I wish it had ended up longer in the back, but it is kind of growing on me.
On the other hand, isn't there a pattern out there that only covers the shoulders and back?
Well, there you have. My experiment in making a one skein garment. Let's see how long it survives.
It's really cute, and will keep your shoulders and back warm..it looks really good with that shirt too...But it will probably look just as good in any shirt that is a color that is in the shrug...
