Shrugging along!

I've come to love shrugs. Shrugs are pretty great. Especially when they are teeny-tiny! 1) They take no time at all to knit.

2) They are perfect to use up that lone skein of luxurious yarn laying in the corner (you know the one, you impulse-buyer you).

3) They are versatile: They dress up a simple shirt and jeans look, and they bring out the colors of a pretty dress.

4) They are the perfect present for little ladies, who seem to have a fondness for them.

Have I mentioned that I have a little lady of my own now? She is still itty-bitty and doesn't have much say when it comes to the contents her wardrobe yet. I wish I could spend hours sewing and knitting intricate, time-consuming things for her, but since that isn't possible anymore, I want to maximize the bang for my buck so to speak.

All this to say: I am so excited about this little shrug I'm working on! The design isn't quite finished yet, but everything is falling into place I think, and here's a little preview/teaser just for you.
