Emily's shrug is done! I used 3 skeins of malabrigo six ply bulky merino yarn and Barbara Walker's twining leaves pattern. It fits pretty snugly, but the yarn is pretty stretchy, so I'm happy. Excuse the pajama shot- I couldn't wait to take a picture of it. I knit it cuff to cuff in the round for the arms, increasing every eight rows for the first three increases and then every six until the armpit. Then I knit back and forth and then did the next arm in the round. The yarn was very nice to work with, but has a faint odor of vinegar which is kind of funny. I am wondering how you block something knit in the round. Do you have to have a form to put it on?
