Shrug....finally done





I have finally finished my shrug....I am not that happy with it.  :(
Ok, as you can see, we are different sizes and it almost fits us the same?!?!?!  This shrug gave me fits to make it.  The 1st 10 to 15 frogs were a total learning process, since I have been self taught on patterns.  But the froggings after that were pure agony.  I even extended the lace pattern 2 times, so the back would have been even shorter if I had not!  The sleeves should have been longer, according to the picture on the pattern.  Oh, well, it is a nice lace pattern, I will have to make another with some tweaking and will make it in a solid, like in the picture of the pattern.  Regardless, my daughter loves it, the day I gave it to her she wore it all day long, and wore it for two days straight to school after that!  Once it gets colder, she will wear it more. 
I have a hat and scarf for my fiance' to make, since in Korea is getting cold, and he has made a request.  And some babies are coming and blankets have been requested as well.  My school work is priority, but I am squeezing in my knitting as well!
