Ribbed Shrug

I have been meaning to post this finished project for quite a while but I needed Paul to take some photos for me. This isn't a project that can be photographed laying flat as the construction really requires a body in it to make any sense. It is basically a long rectangle that is folded and seamed up the sides.

I knitted this in about a week before going to New Mexico. It was one of those mindless and instantly rewarding projects. The design concept was based on a pattern from Plymouth Yarns and I got a sense for the numbers based on the Lacy Shrug pattern from Knit 2 Together.

I have already worn it quite a bit and am thinking about making another one in a different color.

Yarn: Artful Yarns - Fable

Color: #92 - The Gingerbread Man

Hey lady, I see that Jerri has the same request as I and much sooner ... but seriously, girl, I'll buy the yarn and make you dinner. I KNOW I'll never get around to it myself, and I've been searching for a similar garment ever since I saw this post. It doesn't exist! Name your bribe. Go on, name it.

Cast of Characters: Paul

My husband and co-conspirator on the much linked to Mega Man hat. He is the house expert when it comes to all things with electrical cords/chargers and/or anything that requires configuring. When I first met Paul he was a smoker and a vegetarian. Now he is a non-smoker who enjoys making smoked meat in his BBQ. Paul recently dove headfirst into brewing beer and is quickly acquiring mad brewing skills. If you are really lucky, he will invite you to one of his Meat Meet Supper Club dinners or Beer Release parties.

Cast of Characters: Fanny

Fanny joined our family in 2008 and has been keeping our laps warm ever since then. When we met Fanny at a shelter in Boston, we thought she was a small, adult cat. We were wrong. She must have been less than a year old, because when we brought her home and fed her, she kept getting bigger and bigger and fluffier and fluffier. In addition to her stellar cuddling skills, Fanny’s claim to fame is that she is a polydactyl cat with a fused or “super” claw. We think she is super in every way.

In Memoriam: Tchazo

In Memoriam: Jack

I adopted Jack at about the same time Paul bought Tchazo (see previous note about egging each other on), but since Tchazo was young and needed to stay with his mom for a few more weeks, Jack came into our house first. For a while, he HATED Tchazo but they eventually became 24-7 buddies. After nearly 11 years together, we had to put Jack down in March of 2013. Jack was a little crazy in the head, but we learned how to live with it. His favorite things included licking the floor, lying under the couch and gazing at me longingly. Jack was physically incapable of wagging his tail whilst being petted. I like to think it is because he was soaking up the love so intensely that it required his full concentration.
