Summer Shrug
Just in time for the 100 degree heat of a Texas summer I finished my button-up shrug.
This was a learning experience for me!
I learned the importance (and peace of mind) of a life line when knitting!
I learned how to do (and un do) a provisional cast-on.
I learned how to make a button hole, even though I haven't found just the right button to add.
The most important thing I learned, though, is I really like doing lace! I like it so much that I'm contemplating using this same pattern to make another shrug, maybe in an almond color. Admittedly this was an easy pattern. I might not be saying this if I tried a more difficult one. Time will tell I guess! *L*
Any thoughts on another color or pattern ?

Well done!

Like you, I have fallen in love with the life line; however, there doesn't often seem to be the time to knit lace. I have one lace scarf that's been half done for over a year now.
You can find Japanese drop beads, like the ones used in my understatement necklace, at lots of online stores. Google for "drop beads" and you'll get a lot of search results. I used the 3x4 mm size.
We've had record low high temperatures this spring here in Portland (only 57 degrees for a high on two days last week). It has been usually rainy and cold. It puts me in the mood for knitting, so I guess that's good. My container garden doesn't like it, though.
