Vintage Shrug Malaysian Version

Well, I have been a bad girl, starting another project before the other WIP are done yet. I just can't resist the temptation of knitting myself the UO Shrug after seeing Vanessa's version. Well this is my version. Its knitted with a DK cotton. Normally I seldom did a swatch, but for UO shrug I have to swatch for the gauge almost 4 or 5 times and froggin about twice. I can't seem to get the right gauge. At least the outcome is not that bad I hope.


Its pretty heavy though, about 350g as I used up almost 7 balls of it (especially on the colar its really warm). Guess this outfit I can only wear it in the office. For my version I've used a brooch to decorate it. Any idea, does it look nice with the brooch there? I got myself some other brooch too. Which one do you think suits better?

Well before I go, here is UO and Me.

Wow very nice! I like it, girl. Hmmm all the brooch you got there are very pretty. I think you can wear your shrug with anyone of them. Great job!

Oo u finished too! Mine will be completed soon, hopefully. I like the way urs turned out. Very refreshing color. Agree with Van, you can use all of ur brooches. They all look good with it.

Interesting construction on the shrug. I like the brooch you picked for your modelled picture.

Very cute your Vintage shrug! I also feel that all your pins will fit well. Maybe you can change accordingly to match the rest of your outfit.
