i dunno, she shrugged


take a plain shrug and make it noro-iffic! i varied the "ribbed shrug" shown here http://www.interweave.com/knit/interweave_knits/web_projects/Shrugs_instructions.pdf and made the length longer so it would be long instead of 3/4 sleeve. i had two balls of noro silk garden in reds since october and had no idea what to do with it. yes, i have yarn-itis and will buy "pretty yarn" i see even if i have no project in mind. i know, i know. and i always buy two because i think "well, i can always make another scarf". luckily i was able to purchase 2 more balls in the same dye lot and voila created this shrug. i adore it! it's very comfy and the colors are so ME!
