Turtleneck shrug arrived!
My Turtleneck shrug from the SYNO swap arrived safely back in Brooklyn this week after its vacation in London.
The Specs:
Pattern: Turtleneck Shrug by Teva Durham, from Scarf Style
Yarn: Joseph Galler Prime Alpaca in Nutmeg, 2 strands held together, 2 skeins
Masterful knitting by: Amelia
Its an interesting, and quite cute garment. I love how long the sleeves are...perfection!
And, as a bonus, Amelia sent along a scarf kit from Touch Yarns and chocolate from Green and Blacks. Those chocolates sure are good.. I am going to have to check on the availability of them here in the US. And I just love when yarn comes in a kit... its like it already has a purpose :-) I am looking forward to working with this laceweight.
Thanks Amelia! And Thanks Jac and Kris for organizing the Stitch Ya Neck Out swap - it was great fun!

I adore my turtleneck shrug, although I wish I would have used nicer yarn. That kit looks great, can't wait to see the pattern!

Wow, that looks so good in that yarn. I'm looking around for it, were two 8 oz. skeins used for that? It seems like an awful lot of yarn, but I suppose if it's held together you do only get one skein worth of yardage. Interesting.

That is really cool and warm-looking. What a fun exchange! Maybe I'll get it on it if someone does SYNO again. Cheers-
