New Year Crochet!

So at long last I got around to using the Recycled Sari Silk skeins I've been hoarding, you know, you see some nice yarn & just have to have it knowing you'll find a use for it one day!
I used the tried & tested shrug-a-licious pattern with one or two of my own tweaks.
I like the 'Victoriana' style of this jacket & the silk makes it quite a heavy garment.
If anyone is thinking of using this silk then a word of WARNING wash it first as it will drop lots, this the second time I've made this jacket with the same yarn, one wash & the sleeves ended up down by my ankles!

Black Shrug Finished!


Yeah finished!!!

Didn't take long, though I did have another trip back to the wool shop as I ran out of wool with only half a row to go.
(There was a sale so a picked up another 20 balls of wool too!........... ummmmmm now what to make?)
