From Sally — Snug in a Shrug

Filed under: Updates — surly @ 3:45 pm

A finished object! Yes, I’ve finally finished something. I’ve been very busy in my non-knitting life (with another as yet unfinished project) and it has greatly affected the time I have to knit. But I just finished one of Carol Sunday’s lovely patterns, her Eve’s Ribs shrug. I used Carol’s Nirvana yarn in charcoal. Nirvana’s name is justified. It’s a luscious blend of 92% cashmere and 8% merino. It is wonderful to knit with and it blocked beautifully. I love this yarn, and I’m eyeing Carol’s new Mia Francesca pattern and contemplating knitting it out of Nirvana in the moss color way. It would be gorgeous.

But below is a rare photo of me actually modeling something. Lucy, my mannequin, just wasn’t up to the task (sometimes, the lack of arms is an issue).

  7. Gorgeous! You and the shrug. I usually don’t like shrugs at all, but that one is lovely. Carol Sunday is terrific..

  8. Really pretty – you and the sweater. Thank you for modelling it for us! I have a sweater of Nirvana – and I really like it. Besides being pretty, it’s very comfortable to wear.
