Quick Post
I asked Rich to get a photo of my shrug and of Jerome in his hat. So, here are both photos.
This was us heading out to the store, where Jerome received all sorts of compliments on his behavior, his looks and his hat. A few people even noted that it looked hand knit, though nobody commented on his blanket, and I didn't want to brag. Perhaps I should have unfolded it and wrapped it about him with a flourish.
The shrug was made with almost an entire skein of Knit One Crochet Too Marco Polo in the Oslo (I think, #175) colorway. I should have done one more repeat of the dropped st pattern, but it fits as it is and I didn't feel like undoing the bound off edge and going back 10 rows to repeat it. I have no idea what I am going to do with the little amount I have left of this yarn. Maybe one of those knit necklaces, but I don't think I actually have enough for that.
Anyway, off for now. I'm going to try to get a batch of blackberry lime jam made and canned tonight.
