The Shrug
pattern: self-designed, a 66"x5" rectangle, with the sleeves sewn into a tube and "Lacy Shells" edging from Nicky Epsteins "Knitting on the Edge" added to each sleeve using three needle bind-off. The edge stitches were slipped on the wrong side to create a nice, even edge. I also knit it a little smaller than I would like it as the cotton will stretch out.
yarn: 5 balls NitPicks Shine, in "cream"
gauge: 5.25 sts/inch and 7 rows/inch in K2P2 ribbing on size 5 needles
