Let's Knit Magazine - Your knitting, your style

Finished my daughters shrug. This fluffy wool is a pig to sew up. Still, with all the fluff no-one will ever see the seams. that’s my knitting olympics done.

That is lovely, that will grace many a party and xmas do, I would have thought, x That’s given me and idea for a Xmas pressie now - thanks x Janet

Is that Sirdar Foxy?  I’m making a bolero for myself in that.  I’ve only done the back so far and put it on the back burner cuz I can’t figure out the pattern for the front pieces! doh!

Wow chris that’s lovely, Iam sure getting plenty of idea’s on forums for chrissie presents, but must get move on or nothing will be done lol

No, it was a cheap yarn called needles, which probably explains all the knots, but it looks the same as the sirdar one.

I looks really nice. And this proves that the cheap yarns can be as good as the expencive ones.

It does look very much like the Sirdar yarn but just as effective.  Well done!  I’m hoping that all my mistakes will get hidden! lol

That is going to make her the Belle of the Ball this Christmas.

That will make a any party outfit look fantastic.

Thats lovely,well done.

Great work, she’ll feel like a princess.

There’s just one small issue… I’m ‘well built’ (no ribs sticking out here!) and because the wool is so fluffy it makes me look slightly like a big cuddly bear… But mum suggested putting it in the fridge to calm the fluff down.  It’ll definitely be going to Christmas parties once I’ve done that!
Thanks mummy

cuddly bears are lovely - who wants a skinny bear?

Awww, it’s nice to hear from artist and recipient!  I love the shrug and think Rach will look fab in it.  Please let us know all the lovely compliments you get Rach!
