I started my shrug last night during breaks from Josephine (which is almost to the end of the lace on the back… I can’t wait to make up some shaping!) Malabrigo is so lovely. I expect this shrug to fly off the needles!

Yes Malabrigo is a true joy to behold…
Pretty color.
OoooooooH-I LOVE that color! I think you just made me ruin my yarn diet. I have been looking at Malabrigo to also make the Two-Toned Shrug. How many skeins did you purchase for yours. I was hoping I could get away with 2 skeins myself. I measure 17″ across the shoulders and normally wear a L size (very rarely a M if I go for a more fitted look). I have heard some people say that their shrug has come out too small.
Oh, gorgeous color!
Oooh, lovely, rich color. I love, love, love Malabrigo!
Everything I’ve knit with Malabrigo has flown right off the needles! It’s just so nice to work with. I think the shrug will be lovely in just one tone!
I’ve been hearing good things about the Malabrigo laceweight lately, so now I’m dying to try that.
Awww – this is going to look so gorgeous! What a very beautiful colorway you chose, and I can well imagine that the Malabrigo is sheer heaven to work with! Happy knitting!
So beautiful!
I’m headed up to Louisville with my husband tomorrow. He has a work conference, and I am planning to shop and hang out during the day. Any good yarn shop suggestions?
