Shrugs/Vogue Knitting
In the Fall 2005 issue of Vogue Knitting on page 63 is the picture of
shrug/jacket which I find quite interesting. It is knit circular with the sleeves picked up and knit downward to the cuff. Is there anyone else that plans on trying the idea? DA -- Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us. |

I'm going to go stash diving to see if I have any yarn I could use that would be suitable. ;) Shelagh |

Do you think that it would be pretty just knit plain from Noro yarns? Don't really care for the loopy mohair used as an edge either. I do love the idea that it can be worn either way. DA |

DA (smile) - don't forget - you can do anything you want. When you speak of Noro yarns, are you talking about their variegated or a plain colour? Personally, I love variegated yarns, so it's really up to you how you want to do it. If you don't like the loopy mohair, how about one of the eyelash yarns? Especially if you use a plain colour for the shrug, then used a variegated eyelash for the edge. Let us know what you decide.. and good luck! Shelagh |

Shelagh I swatched the center today with some left over Noro (variegated) and I really like the way it looked. The colors swirl outward in a spiral. I will wait for Stitches to pick up the yarn, that way I can see all the colors in the yarn and maybe choose a solid color and fringe the edges. DA |

This issue is worth buying, just for this shrug alone. However, there are also 2 or 3 shawl patterns in it that are gorgeous. ;) Shelagh |

Haven't missed one yet. One must feed the addiction. I have web space, so I will be glad to post pictures. This will probably be an after Christmas project as ideas for gifts are already nagging at me. LOL I will shop for you at Stitches, so you will be there in spirit. DA |

I live in Canada and have dreams of attending a Stitches show on the west coast.... sometime in the future - after I win a lottery (snicker). However, this summer I was in Colorado for a knitting camp and did get to attend the Yarn Barn at the Estes Park Fiber Festival. That was FUN. I could have spent a fortune, but just looked at everything. Shelagh |
