Retro Redux Shrug
Mmmmmmmalabrigo. Not much needs to be said. If you haven't treated yourself to a skein or two or ten of this stuff, you really should. This shrug is supersoft and perfect over a tank top for a San Francisco summer.
Pattern: Retro Redux Shrug from Lace Style, Interweave Press
Size: Second (42")
Yarn: Two skeins of Malabrigo worsted in Polar Morn
Needles: US 8, 9, 10, 10.5
Mods: I lengthened the shrug so the ribbing of the sleeves would start/end below my elbow.

Beautiful. I would never have thought to use malabrigo for this shrug.
oh my - that's so pretty!
I want one!
Very nice!! Now you are all ready for the SF summer, whenever it decides to come!
Oh it's gorgeous! The yarn seems to shine.
That came out beautifully! I love it! You just may have inspired me to knit my own. :)
Lovely, malabrigo is so good to knit with.
That is sooo beautiful, I might have found what to knit with my 2 skeins of malabrigo.
Gorgeous! I'm not a big fan of shrugs, but I really like this one. And it looks great on you, too.
Beautiful!
very nice! yes, i haven't knit with malabrigo but hear a lot about it :) must get some soon!
It's beautiful, as usual. I love this pattern, and I looooove Malabrigo. So all around, a winner!
Ahh, beautiful. As usual you have impeccable taste.
I'm not a shrug kind of gal, but man is this beautiful. And it fits you perfectly!
Gorgeous girl! I've wanted to make a shrug, but I haven't found any that I love...You may have found one for me!

the shrug is beautiful and i love the colour! i tried malabrigo for the first time last week, in fact, and love it to bits.
Hi, my name is Veronique, and I'm a Malabrigo addict. You found the perfect pattern for this yarn! And just 2 skeins?!
Oh yes, Malabrigo, the bestest, softest, squishiest yarn on the planet. Again, you blow me away with a beautiful, ultra-flattering garment.
Your shrug turned out great... I love that color!
love love LOVE! it looks fabulous! definitely the perfect sf layer :)
this is beautiful! I love the color! Looks great on you. I knitted this pattern too in the yarn it called for but it just didn't fit me right so I gave it to a friend. I might try the Malabrigo, which is a fav of mine anyway.
How lovely on you! I agree - mmmmmalabrigo!
This is really beautiful (and suits you well)!
So cute, and I love the sleeve length you chose! Also, Malabrigo...how could you go wrong, really? ;)
Oooh, I love it! I'm so smitten with Malabrigo, and this is a perfect use for it! I'll have to break down and get that book now.....
How beautiful! It looks great!
It looks great on you. The sleeves look a perfect length.
Hy Steph,
your version of the Redux Shrug looks wonderful. I love the longer arms. This could be an alternative for me, too.
By the way: Your Herringbone Handwarmers are also very faishy. Good work!
Happy greetings from Germany

Your posts always make my day!
Ah ha! I have been thinking about making a shrug, but worried (how shallow is that?) that I had missed the bolero window. Now I see that you're wearing them, I will worry not. :)
Yours is lovely, by the way xx
I really love how this looks--And only 2 skeins of malabrigo worsted!
Also, you are among my ten "blogs that make my day" ^_^
And in my 10 too.
It's perfect. What a beautiful shrug. LOVE the colour, too. And your herringbone handwarmers - ich liebe Fischgraetmuster, und Koigu, und die Farben, die Du gewaehlt hast, passen so gut zueinander!
Just simply a beautiful and great finished piece! I think I may need one of these :)
Hi there! Great work on your shrug. I'm linking to your blog because you have some fantastic shots of a finished object that my WIP can only aspire to become.
