Hi, Cheryl. Loving your profile! Guess what! I am exactly the same - but a Taurus. Also love knitting, sewing, crochet, macrame, etc etc. Anything to do with textiles. I have been knitting for nearly 60 years - thanks to my grandmother. Like your pattern.
Hey Cheryl, I think you should add a correction to Row 6: instead of (k1, p1 2x) k4, p1, (MS, kt1 3x) MS, p1, k4, (p1, k1 2x), it should be (k1, p1 2x) k4, p1, (kt1, MS 4x), knit to last 9 stitches, p1, k4, (p1, k1 2x)
Also, you have to continue the 4 rows till you have 133 stitches or thereabouts.
Anyway, I just knit this in pink, and I love it. I knitted the short bolero, but I knitted 6 inch arms, it came out beautiful. Thanks Cheryl.
Thanks for the feedback, I'll look into it! :) Glad you liked the pattern.
Hi there! I´m also a cancer. And you are describing me in you profile! Love the shrug! Best regards Esin from Stockhol, Sweden
