Shrugs...are they for me?

I hope so because I'm currently knitting one. I visited my aunt recently and saw her working on one and I was intrigued. She showed me it was basic knit know how and I could make this too if only I'd quit doubting myself. Well with a boost of new found confidence I had the pattern printed and off I went into town to get supplies.
Once at Joann Fabrics I looked for my yarn and needles. Did you know that most if not all scanes of yarn have dye lot numbers? I didn't and I've been knitting and crocheting for years! I made sure my woolly yarn had the same dye lot numbers, grabbed my connected needles and got the heck out of there. Christmas madness…a girl can only take so much.  I started knitting my shrug this week and after getting schooled in knit-purl I was finally making some progress.

See? Progress!

I'll put the link for the pattern at the end of this post. It's by "Lion Brand" and if you head on over to their website www.lionbrand.com they have plenty of patterns for all levels to enjoy.

If I ever finish this project then I will post an update in the (hopefully) near future. Until then it's knit purl...knit purl...knit purl.
