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.
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.
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 Susanne
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. :)
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!
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.
Your shrug looks really beautiful! I was thinking on making one on the knitting machine. But I never know how to translate the change to bigger needles. Is there a lot of difference in width when you knit wih size 9 needles, size 10 or 10,5?

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!

It looks great on you. The sleeves look a perfect length.
