Okay, now I know why so many knitters called this project “The Beast.” It looks so beautiful in the picture and simple to knit. However, I have been knitting this project on and off for months and I finally finished the body along with one arm last night. I should be done with the arms by tomorrow and then the ribbing begins! I have to admit this is boring. The stitch is easy but not at all interesting. I hope that I end up loving this garment when it’s finished. A pure labor of love on my part. I hate boring projects and tend to shelve them for months on end doing a little here and there until it’s complete. Many knitters have felt the same way about this shrug and I hope I feel it was all worth it in the end.
I decided to shorten it to 30” rather than the 35” the pattern called for because many people thought it was just to long. I hope that I did the right thing here. A bit nervous after all of the work I put into this thing. A little guessing but a lot of time. I have not taken any pictures yet. Wish me luck!!
