It didn't take me long to finish the rest of the first side, although I did take a break from this project to work on one of my other WIPs. I have also done the pickup on the other side, and started another center panel for another shrug - this time another Charivari shrug. On my first two shrugs - my Gazania Shrug that I gave to my sister Liz and the Watermelon Shrug that I made for Carol I used up all of my yarn by working short rows in garter stitch before joining. I've been looking at those projects and thinking about resurrecting that practice. When I made the Charivari Shrug for my sister Virginia I was using it to finalize the pattern and didn't want to do any of those kinds of improvisations, but I do like the look and it uses up all of the yarn. It may even make them sit a little better when they are worn.
Pattern: Traveling Zebra Shrug by Carolyn Blakelock
Yarn: Biscotte & Cie Bis-sock
Needles: US 2.5 (3 mm) and US 4 (3.5 mm)
