Miss Gertrude Wright's Shoulderette
Topic: quick projects

Sometimes, the simple knitted projects are the ones that give the most pleasure. This shrug walked into my shop two weeks ago and I fell in love. The simple 6 row lace pattern and practical wearing style sold me.

 It came from a handed-down pattern, courtesy of one one of my customers and her lab technician, that left out some details. So, I took it upon myself to add them in, and an alternate wearing variation.

Here's a picture of a similar one from the front:

 The pattern will be hosted, eventually, on the Knitlist Holiday Pattern Gift List.  For now, you can get it here.

 I am not a fine lace knitter, but I LOVE it knit BIG:

 Enjoy!

I fell in love with it too - where can I get the Kid n Ewe yarn or what is a good substitute for it?

Hi Lois 

I have about 20 colors of Kid N Ewew in stock right now.  What color would you be interested in?

Hello Claudia

 I still remember the nice weekend I spent at your "Knitting in the Round" retreat recently.  It would be fun to return sometime for another weekend, maybe this time with a friend.

I am very interested in your Shoulderette pattern.  Is is possible to see a picture of the front? 

 Thanks so much.

 

Mary from Maryland
