Finished shrug & hemmed edge

Matt had to work all weekend so I spent the time getting a lot of knitting done as well as hosting a girlee brunch. Saturday I finished the openwork shrug. Here’s the lovely Kathy modeling it. (trying to look like her twin from Interweave.) I used Supercotton which has great stretch to it.

I also started to knit a sweater pattern I’m hoping to submit for the next SNB. I wanted a hemmed edge which is something I’ve never done before. It was a little time consuming doing the crochet chain (as I don’t crochet) & then taking the chain off to start knitting from that side but I think the results are really worth it. This pictures shows both the right & wrong side of the hem…very pleased.
