It has been a while. I did finish my August Camp Loopy project with a couple of days to spare, but I wasn’t sure that I was going to make it. After more than a year of working from home, I started going back into the office a couple of days a week on June 22 and the keyboard that I left there is not a good one and using it, even for a few days a week, gave me a repetitive stress injury in my left elbow, which was aggravated by knitting. So I had to take some time off from knitting and when I did knit I limited the duration of my knitting sessions. Thankfully with Delta we are not required to go in to the office anymore so my elbow has recovered. I also have an ergonomic keyboard and a track ball for when I have to go back. To complicate knitting matters I also had a test knit start up at the end of July competing for my limited knitting time.
The pattern called for a ribbed border by I didn’t want to knit the ribbing. It pulls in the rest of the shrug and foils the drape so I replaced it with a simple lace pattern (yo, k2tog) and used a contrast color - Safran.
Pattern: Conic by Cookie A
Yarn: Rohrspatz & Wollmeise Pure in Tristan and Safran
Needle: US 2.5 (3 mm)
