Pattern Info

Pattern info for this project can be found here:
Vogue Knitting Design by Tony Limuaco - Spring/Summer 2008 »

Instructions

Sleeves appeared too short as knitted and I added 4 inches. Probably should have added only two, due to the stretch in the fabric, once cuffs are attached.
I went up two needle sizes to obtain guage.

Pattern also requires crochet skills.

Difficulty:

Category: Knitting

Type of item: Clothing

For: Women

Style: Classic, Romantic, Traditional


Materials

Tilli Tomas Rock Star - Silk with beads

What was your inspiration?

A beautiful young bride - who is a sweet as she is pretty deserved this shrug and it went perfectly with her chosen dress. I first saw the design in Vogue Knitting and loved it from the beginning.

What are you most proud of?

The fact that I was able to make a project for someone that fit and was as beautiful as the design photos.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Swatch - recognize the stretch in the fabric. Also, looks more difficult than it is. Get the errata!
