Using the stash - dedicated project #2

Thanks to all for your encouragement and support on my first dedicated project! Of course, I realise most of you were probably refugees on my blog after the stress of following the cutting of the steek, but still, it was nice to get the support.

Myself? I'm still getting over the big cut, and I wasn't even there.

I'm poring over books and magazines, coming up with genius ways of using the collection. I'm dreaming of crochet, dreaming of yarn, of flying hooks and cable stitches. Sure beats having nightmares, let me tell you!

Stash: Filatura blah blah Zara in a divine mashed cherry red colour.



Issue: None. It doesn't take up much room and I would love to keep it in it's current state and pet it, but it is so lovely it really deserves to be worn. Plus it's RED.

Solution: Easy Shrug "Positively Crochet" by Mary Jane Hall, using the sizing variation.



I'm not a big fan of shrugs normally, especially ones that barely cover your arm pits and make the big-boobed amongst us look even boobier. But this one looks nice. Flattering even. We will see.



I'm going to start this on the weekend. Because you know what? I've finished all five show projects.

And I think I'll just leave it there.
