The Shtick I Do

As you can tell by the title of the post I have one gift completed and ready for Christmas! Of course, if I keep looking at it I'm going to want to put beads or buttons or something  else on it. But what crafter doesn't do that? This is the Granny Cocoon Shrug that recently went viral in several Facebook groups. I decided I wanted to make one - I also decided that instead of making it for me I was going to gift it! I kinda sorta  followed >> THIS << video but I changed a couple of things - the arms for one. However, I LOVE the way it turned out and I think the recipient will love it too!  Stay safe this Halloween and remember it's all about FUN!  Peace and blessings. ~~Karen~~ 

I like keeping warm. Even in the summer months you can get cold in certain places; movie theaters, malls, church . . . even home. Now a summer scarf can keep your neck warm and cozy but your arms and shoulders are left out in the cold. A jacket or sweater might be too much, making you hot and sweaty not to mention look silly (*looks side to side as she realizes she's looked silly a few too many times*). But a shrug . . . now that's the thing for summer time chills. It covers the arms and shoulders while leaving your back and front open. Here's the one I made from yarn scraps that were around the house. (Modeled by my lovely daughter Katrina!) Yes, it does look like something from a Mexican Day of the Dead party but when you're using scraps, you get what you get. LoL! Enjoy and have a safe post-holiday weekend!
