The Seahunt July 7, 2008

It is with great joy that I can blog- the seahunt shrug is actually finished!! This puppy warmer has been the looooong process of about 6 painstaking, painfull and expressive months.

It’s knitted from the pattern Summer Sky, once available on the now defunct Magknits website. It’s a boody cute shrug, but the pattern was an overcharted, underdeveloped struggle.
Coupled with this was my determination to follow the pattern to the letter, and make no adjustments or ammendments. Being usually a non pattern knitter it’s very hard for me to stick to someone else’s instructions, and so I chose to get all bloodyminded about the one pattern that really needed to occasionally be ignored.
To all those who told me to give up and frog it (you know who you are) all I can say is- ha ha! How cute is this??

Now that it’s done though I’m excessively happy with it’s cuteness, and would even consider trying it again.
One day.
Not right now.
