Wrap Front Shrug by Shibaguyz is Finished

It was a success.  February was a fun month with the Shibaguyz and all their crochet designs.  I did complete this beautiful wrap and even got the sleeves inserted properly.  I am always sleeve challenged with any item I have ever made beginning with my 8th grade sewing project...the sleeves didn't fit properly so I threw the dress away.  Well I put it in a closet and later threw it away.  But I digress...I was talking about sleeves not about my patience problem which is legendary!!!!  I mention the sleeve issue so no one will blame it on the design...it was purely mine and mine alone.  BUT, I did get the sleeves in as the picture shows and the wrap is, well, 'a wrap.'

So, now I have lots of new Shibaguyz projects to choose from.  I've made my choice, the Pewter Dress, but first I must make a gift for a friend.  A knitted gift, grrrrrrrrrrrrr, but I'll get it done.  The finished wrap was made with Lion Brand Microspun Royal Blue yarn.

MARCH IS CROCHET ALONG WITH SHIBAGUYZDESIGNZ

Well we are rapidly moving into the 2nd week of March and the Crochet Along sponsored on RAVELRY by SHIBAGUYZDESIGNZ is moving along.  It is such a fun activity.  I chose the Wrap Front Shrug for my project.  Since I'm trying to use up stash yarn, I chose Lion Brand's Microspun in royal blue.  It is working up very nicely.  Right now, there are almost 300 of us knitting and crocheting one of their designs.  Stay tuned to hear how the crochet along is going.  Now, I must get back to my shrug.

Shrug is Finished

Finally finished the shrug.  I had sleeve problems...yet again!  But it fits perfectly now and is very light and easy to wear.  My friend, Victoria, gave me the yarn for my birthday so I was determined to make it into something pretty. The hat on the other hand is now in the bag for the shelter and I will have to work on another head cover for Mimi the Mannequin.  Her name is Mimi.  A friend suggested the name and since she represents me it seemed appropriate.  She is a bit wobbly but that is kinda like me, too.  Ha-Ha!  I'm still considering replacing this plastic inflatable variety with a hard plastic variety but haven't started shopping yet.  For now, we'll have to wobble a bit.
