Handspun Yak and Wool Yarn

Shrugs!

I haven't written anything in forever--the months between January and May are particulalry busy, apparently, but I have been knitting and sewing as much as ever. Faithful readers (Anne), I know how anxious you have been for some new pictures, so here they are. I have become obsessed with shrugs. They fit better than cardigans and they give the allusion of a slender willowy build. They are also incredibly easy to knit, particularly if you follow the pattern by Jessica Harrigfeld, http://www.etsy.com/featured_seller.php?featured_user_id=5289847

For both of these shrugs I have used yarn from A Verb for Keeping Warm for the crocheted trim and Cascade 220 for the body.
