This was supposed to be a lovely shrug but to be honest after I had made it, blocked it, stitched it and put it on - it made my arms look like they were cottage cheese poured into a pair of lacy tights…
…so thought I had better rework it. I think I am going to make it in to a bit of a shawl/scarf combination. I am really pleased with the effect though. The stitch (Solomon Knot or Lovers Knot) was really simple to learn and looks really delicate - a very desirable combination. Its made out of lovely alpaca, stunning wool!
