In other news, I found a knitted item from Christmas past! Does this happen to anyone else?
I give you the DROPS shrug:
(The look on my face epitomizes my feelings about my 4-day weekends)Here are some stats:
Pattern: DROPS Shrug (Ravelry)
Designer: DROPS design...? (It's very vague)
Yarn: 5 skeins of DROPS Eskimo in light ice blue
Needles: US 15 Addi Turbos
Estimated time of knitting: 4 hours in a trance
And here is a better picture of the front
In a nutshell, It was quick. It was easy. And it's warm. 'nuff said. My only complaint is that the back gapes a little bit at the bottom, but nothing a good blocking or cleverly placed front button wouldn't fix.Stay tuned to see the fate of this yarn, as well as a surprise sneaking up at the end of the week--hooo boy!

Oh gosh, you look so young and youthful and beautiful. I am jealous, I am an old lady now. You remind me a lot of my niece, she is a freshman in college.
I enjoy reading your blog. Did you ever pick out your prize from Michelle's Etsy store?
Hey, I think I recognize that shrug! I pulled mine on the other day too! Perfect to chase an early spring chill. Did you know that there was a price drop on all Garnstudio yarns and I am getting more in all the time. I remember what it was like being a college student, but I don't remember being as talented as you!
super cute! and huzzah for planning your schedule so brilliantly. i only have class on monday tuesday and wednesday so thursday and friday are freeeeeeeeeee. it's lovely, isn't it?
Can't...wait...'til...college...
Well, not entirely true - high school's pretty cool, sometimes.
Cute. :)
Ah, I always tried for at least Mondays with no classes. Four day weekend...lucky you.
Ah you look so cosy in that! And you knit it quicker than you could go and buy one.
Glad you've enjoyed your spring break- the shrug is really cute.
That is really cute! It's kind-of a shrug-vest. I think it's going on my queue!!
I used to have those long weekends. They are the best. I miss them... I guess when I retire and work as a Wal-Mart greeter I may be able to work my schedule out that way again.
Wow, I am so impressed with your knitting credentials posted on your website. When I was in college, I could barely crochet an afghan! Thanks for leaving me a comment- You were my first ever!!! And at Harvard too! I spent a few weekends there, myself, but that was in the 1970's.
You, and your site, and you header photo, and your wind-up chick and your pregnant friend, and your 'The Artist' and your pumpkin and your work are all freakin' adorable.
That is all.
Love that fat, but crisp stitch definition. Definitely a nice layering piece.
Hi, I came here via Ravelry. I was wondering if you could tell me which length of circular needles you used? I've never used them before and need to buy some for the Drops shrug pattern, but I believe the length needs to be right for the project.
Thanks for any advice!
Hey hun!
