getting shruggy

Lookie, lookie, the wee pearl shrug (from Vintage Baby Knits) is starting to look shruggy! A few dozen rounds of broken rib on the sides and that funny little hourglass piece I started with has magically transformed into a half-finished shrug. I am so loving how this tiny thing is constructed - too cool!


drop stitch sleeves and border still to come!

I can't get over how texturally and technically complex, yet adorably small, it is. There is so much fun knitting in this teensy little project.

I love how this piece is working up. It's just so cool seeing it come together.

Lovely colour! And the construction looks very interesting

I am SO wanting to make one of these for my wee one! Super cute!

I'm waiting to finish my version of this until you seam the sleeves - I'm terrified of that step. The color of yours is wonderful - great yarn choice.
