Circle shrug

Craftster strikes again! I was really planning on making a sweater from one of the two books I just bought ~ not to mention the Phildar magazine I just got in, but craftster has redirected my attention to this:

It's a circular shrug that Urban outfitters is selling for a smooth $54. It comes complete with wool, so I defintely won't be purchasing it. After all, that's what knitting is for! A few of the girls at craftster actually reverse engineered it and came up with the pattern. Aren't they wonderful!?! I've already gotten started and am about 4.5" into the ribbing. I'm using Rowan Calmer in a discontinued colorway called Amour. (#469)

I love this shrug. I heard people talking about it, but never saw the picture. No it's on my list too.

I have some Calmer in the same color. It is actually not called Armour (sounds like a knight of the round tabel kind of color), but Amour. As in looooove!

Ahh, thanks for the correction! Amour makes much more sense to me. I wish they hadn't discontinued it; it's such a beautiful color!

Thanks veronique. :)

Thanks for the comments everyone. I'm up to the mock ribbing now and will keep you posted.
