Knitting!

Forest Fruits Shrug

I made another Kim Hargreaves kit! This shrug is knitted from Rowan Biggy Print, which knits to 5.5 sts to 10cm and consequently the project only took about 5 hours from start to finish. And that includes the time it took to sew the sleeve in the wrong way round, take it out, and put it back properly - clearly an essential step in making any sweater. The kit was really nicely packaged as usual, and the pattern was well written and easy to follow, and also I used an entire ball less than was sent! All in all it was a fun quick knit.

And the back - I thought it might be like a cropped cardi but it's too cropped for that!
