The Affliction

This is a pic of a crocheted shrug that I made last week. I really like it. I know I need a new model, but it does the job for me in that it hides the MANY flaws that afflict my body. No, I am not really fat, but the wicked witch of the south keeps tugging on me to join her ranks. I have to beat her down !

In this pic I actually pulled my pants down below my ass so that I would not have lumps and bumps. HA HA Oh me ...

Tonight I am also working on a tie front shrug (#3) from Knit 1 magazine. Looks really easy. I have some pretty Schaefer cotton yarn. I LOVE that yarn!!

But it shrunk a little and I actually like the fit better now. I love this pattern. It

Another FO. This is Cleo from Knitty. I used Schaefer Laurel (I think this is my fav yarn right now). The color is great. Too bad the model is not.

Clapotis Done !!

My Clapotis is finished! I love this pattern. I love this garment. It is so versatile. I made mine out of a beaded rayon which knit up just beautifully and drapes perfectly. I'd like to make another out of a wool, silk blend next for warmth. This particular clapotis will be perfect for spring and autumn. Clapotis makes me happy !
