If you were all lovey-dovey about it, I wouldn't say anything (and it looks nice from the front), but you're not totally in love, and the back view....<BR/>I've been wanting to try a shrug, and I liked that pattern in the magazine except it sort of looked wide under the arms. I think I'm going to try something different (maybe on my knitting machine), so think of the time you took as helping other knitters :)TracyKMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07498896222222982320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36646287.post-75198168513498707552008-07-22T07:21:00.000-08:002008-07-22T07:21:00.000-08:00I agree with everyone else that it is too big, and...I agree with everyone else that it is too big, and certainly not your shape. It knit up beautifully and the lace sleeves are oh-so-pretty, so don't give up on it. I can see where it would get finicky to wear if you have to move around. :) Obviously not a work wear, huh?Holly Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10027946953100056091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36646287.post-3349612916467090932008-07-22T05:38:00.000-08:002008-07-22T05:38:00.000-08:00Congratulations on finishing the shrug! I just lo...Congratulations on finishing the shrug! I just love your FO pose. I agree with the previous commenter; I don't think you dislike the shrug because of your body. You look adorable. I think the shrug is just too big on you! <BR/><BR/>Shrugs take some getting used to in wearing. Most folks aren't used to wearing something that doesn't close in the front. Especially those of us with, ahem, ample frontal endowment. Shrugs kind of frame and showcase such endowment. Once you get used to wearing them, you'll feel better about them. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad you are returning to the FLS. I had to put mine away for a bit as our temperatures have soared over the last week or so. It's just too much to knit wool right now!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10115015936648581312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36646287.post-80331105069484267122008-07-21T22:57:00.000-08:002008-07-21T22:57:00.000-08:00I had no idea you could block and SHRINK something...I had no idea you could block and SHRINK something! That's good to know.<BR/><BR/>How did you do the increases in your February Lady Sweater? I started mine and they look (obvious to me) very holey. I still haven't decided whether I want to do buttons, or find some sort of hook/clasp thingie.smariekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09100767973885900243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36646287.post-46463525720516556922008-07-21T21:42:00.000-08:002008-07-21T21:42:00.000-08:00I love the colors and the lace on the sleeves, but...I love the colors and the lace on the sleeves, but the fit... not so much. I hope you don't mind my saying that, but it's the shrug's shape/size that's off, not yours. I think you wear cloths well though, so I imagine if you keep it as is, you will wear this well also.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36646287.post-45883846305388177732008-07-21T19:57:00.000-08:002008-07-21T19:57:00.000-08:00I'm baack!
