I have never worked with mercerized cotton for adult clothing before--while making the shrug, it was so heavy, I thought I was dragging my whole life along with it. But after finishing and blocking it, I love it. The garment has a great texture and shine to it--and the stitch definition comes through very well. A little pick-me-up, on the days when you need that extra something.
Pattern: Shrug this (free)
Yarn: Knitting Fever King Tut (2.5 skeins)

Super cute! Love the color!
wow..lovely
Oh I love this pattern! I have made 2 shrugs with it for myself. Selfish, I know, hehe.
And guess what, I'm currently working on a 3rd version of this pattern, with some modifications, to make it into a cardigan! Keep our fingers crossed that it will work.
Beautiful! I love the colour! I know what you mean about dragging your whole life along with it :) I started making something for myself in cotton and just found it too heavy. Had to frog and start something with looser stitches. I've started to go back to knitting a bit and need to have a look at your lovely projects for some delicious ideas :)
Bravo,c'est trés beau!
color is very nice!
The color is gorgeous as is the shrug itself. Great work!
gorgeous Rima!
I love this. Great color!

Ok, a whole year just to make it...but your shrug is lovely, don't you thing so? :)
so pretty! Looks like it'll go with everything. Great job!
I didn't realize it was cotton. It looks great with perfect stitch definition.
Ohh, lovely, and may I say, a gorgeous top/dress you're wearing under it!
Super cute. I really like it with the longsleeved tee underneath. Yay for finished, photographed projects.
Such a great layering piece and such a great color! Love everything about this shrug!!
Great color choice!

This looks amazing on you!!!
I love the colour..

Great shrug! I made one a little like this in cotton that was very cute, but a bit too small for me so I gave it to my mom who LOVES it.
I love knitting with cotton! It is heavier than wool, but there's just no need for wool where I live and I love the way the stitches look.
Adorable! Great photos too, the brick shows off the blue nicely.
It looks really cute Rima :)
Oh I love it and the color looks wonderful!
