Do-over

I tend to wear most of my hand-knitted items fairly frequently. The exception to this has been the orange Cotton Tape shrug that I made last year, which I wore twice right after I finished it... and never again. It was of the "make a rectangle and sew the two ends into sleeves" variety, and if you have one of these, you know the weird poochy roll of fabric that you end up with along the back.

This weekend, I ripped out the old shrug and made a new one. Basic top-down raglan, with some dropped stitches thrown in "just because"... SO MUCH BETTER.



Look, no more poochy roll of fabric! This one actually fits!


This is part of what makes knitting fun, right? "Hey, this doesn't fit so well... so I get to play with the yarn again!"

Chances are excellent that I'll be wearing this one of the two days of Sheep and Wool. :)
