This was a very rewarding little project. I found this pattern on ravelry... it's the Gaia shrug. I have to admit that I didn't buy the pattern... I looked at it generally got the idea of what she'd done and just took a chance.
I used three skeins of Kashmira yarn by Sensations held together. I really like this yarn - it almost has a springy quality to it. It isn't quite as lacey as the original is, but it has a lovely drape all the same and wears really well. I knocked this out in two days on vacation and would definitely make another in a heartbeat. Fast and easy.
I crocheted the decorative edge, basing it off another pattern I have. It's super cute on and a pretty flexible piece. I've worn it alternately over a tank top and a long sleeve t-shirt, depending on the weather and found it comfy either way. Love it!
I'll be linking this up at Met Monday and a bunch of other awesome link parties... go ahead, check 'em out!

I need to use a thesaurus so I stop writing, "beautiful." But seriously, this is lovely. And I want one.
My birthday is in 25 days, see what you can do!

Lovely in every single way...and you didn't buy the pattern? I am impressed.
This is really so pretty, makes me wish I knew how to crochet!
