I Do Shrug from knitty
The model in the pattern was posing with a flower. I chose a broad bean plant instead.
The colour is really off on this one!

Item name: I Do shrug
Recipient: Me
Pattern: I Do from knitty.com
Yarn: Sirdar Breeze DK (60% cotton, 40% acrylic) 216 g total (approx. 622 yds/570m)
Needles: 4 mm straights (one sleeve metal, and the other bamboo)
Size: Erm ... Mostly large I think!
Dates: June the 25th 2005 (!) to 28th of March 2006 (not constantly worked on).
Modifications: Yarn substitution and knit flat not in the round.
Notes and comments: After discovering that I couldn't do purl lace in the round, I converted it to knit in the flat. In retrospect, I should have added two edge stitches (I would have made seaming it a heck of a lot easier).

I have looked with want in my eyes at this shrug more than once...but maybe in the future....now I know who to hunt if/when I get stuck. Nice picture of a beatiful woman in a wonderful knit. I used to grow broadbeans long ago, they make wonderful soups when fresh....

I've eyed this pattern too, but the purls kept me from knitting it(and well all the other projects I've got on the needles).
I may come back to you to ask stupid questions should I ever attempt to knit this shrug. javede, at Wednesday, 29 March, 2006

Love the shrug, the broad bean certainly adds a certain something! The new accessory of 2006 - I think so!

Lovely shrug and you look fab in it! Oh, and I think I prefer the broad bean - much more original and, besides, it made me smile and the flower didn't. ;-)
