Smokey Sleeves Shrug…
I can’t help it. The hook is superglued to my hand at the moment. The Date’s getting heartily sick of taking pics of me so that’ll be it for the grown up sized stuff for a while.
This colour can only be described as Pigeon blue because everytime I see it I think of Christie.
I’m still churning out the granny shrugs (not for me) but this deliciously warm, smokey, sleeves-only number is all mine.
Foundation chain to completion in one day (I was at a gym competition). More realistically it’s two nights in front of the teev.
Made up as I went along but based on the circled creation of last week which was based on a knitted Sunspun creation.
If you’d like to hook yourself a speedie little number it’s super easy…just a rectangle really. You could just dive in & have a crack but for those who like a “pattern” (& I use the term loosely), I have a pdf here.

I see your granny shrugs all over the blogosphere and can't wait to start mine! I bought half the wool today to begin… now to find a 15mm hook, then I'm away!
Have a lovely day and keep hooking! Great stuff!

I am having a ball with crochet at the moment too. I'd forgotten how much I love the hook. I really like the shrug.

Love the cardi – LOL at the date getting sick of taking photos…I'm sure many of us having interesting child photographer images that are too scary an angle to expose to the public. Time to invest in a good tripod?

Love it Kirsty! You are fast becoming a pattern guru – I bet that Aunty Pat is proud of you! Long live the hook and Kirsty's creative process.

Wow, that's stunning. I just love the ruffle around the edges and the colour. It'd something I could see myself wearing to keep off the chill from the air con in the office… oh, alright, the air outside the office too! It still isn't that warm here! Loving the setting too – the colours of the wall… er almost look painted for the occasion
