Stitchers Guild is posting and chatting about shrugs and their simplicity and instant gratification factor for a couple of weeks. I got pulled into the whole thing and downloaded the free pattern on downloaded the free pattern for Hot Patterns on http://www.fabric.com/?cm_ven=CJ&cm_ite=88x31new&cm_pla=2203897&cm_cat=19276up92&afsrc=1.
I used Ponte Roma knit that has enough weight to not get hung /grabbed by the underneath garment, yet has nice drape. I shortened the cascade by 6" length and 6" width starting at the bottom and tapering to zero approaching the neckline. I am 5 '6" yet I think it needs even more taken off length.........easy to do, just put the rotary cutter to it.
Great to see this made up. I have downloaded but not made yet. I will need to put it on the list. Yours looks lovely.
