FO - Two Tone Ribbed Shrug from "Fitted Knits"

[knitqueen]

I finished this a number of weeks ago actually, but only got around to taking pictures yesterday. I have such a hard time with making garments that I actually like once they're finished and I think I FINALLY have one here that I'm happy with!! I've worn in a number of times and have gotten lots of great compliments on it and that makes it feel all the better!

I modified it slightly and am very happy that I did. The actual pattern has a very high neckline in the back which I knew I wouldn't like, even though it says that you can fold it down, so I was brave and inserted a whole bunch of short rows so that the back of the neckline stayed lower but the rest of the ribbing is still the right length according to pattern. I winged it but it turned out and I'm so happy I decided to modify it. It fits well, is comfortable and I think I'll wear it quite a bit. It's not overly warm though so I'm thinking it'll be perfect for spring when a t-shirt isn't quite enough.

The yarn is Patons Decor, so nothing too special but it works and is machine washable and has softened up a lot with a few washings.
