FO: Two Skein Wonder shrug
Author: fishie
Item: Ugly Retro Shrug
Pattern: Two-Tone Ribbed Shrug from Fitted Knits
Needles: 6 and 4 24″ circs
Yarn: Cotton-Ease
Time to Complete: Less than a week
Unusual Knitting Location(s): CRATER LAKE
New Skillz: Uh…. Make 1 Purl was new?
Notes: I was a dork, didn’t count my rows right, so I ended up a couple rows short, and had to redo the ribbing to get the right number of stitches. This yarn does NOT knit tighter with smaller needles, and I ended up having JUST BARELY ENOUGH green to finish the ribbing.
Almost done!
The only reason I’m posting this now is because I’m supposed to be working on my Lab for tonight.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. Started it the day after I finished those damn socks (Sunday) and wheeee look at me go! I’m going to call it a two-skein wonder because I’m amazed I had enough yarn for it. I got two skeins of cotton-ease from a swap, and decided they’d be perfect for this shrug. Cotton ease is significantly thicker than the Cascade 220 the pattern calls for, but when I went down a couple needle sizes, it seems like it’s working out JUST fine! I’m more than halfway done after working on it for barely four days.
