This is the beginning of my shrug. I saw one like it in a store but it was all cream. I was originally going to knit it with horizontally but vertically is working out better. I thought that I had done my math right but I didn't and I would have been able to wrap it around me twice, I am not a petite or skinny girl, so this thing was huge! It rather mindless knitting. I am just knitting it with a 2 inch strip of St St and then 2 inch strip of garter and repeating with 2x2 ribbing on each end, to make it hug a little.
