sophie's shrug, take 4....

Once upon a time, I created my own pattern for a Louisa Harding contest. I made a little dress to go with it (for contest brownie points... they didn't work...), and my love for fabric and sewing was reborn. Because of this newly rediscovered love, my knitting took a backseat many days. So when a couple of friends asked me for the pattern to Sophie's Shrug, I cranked one out -- errors and all -- and never really got back to proofing it. Turns out it's not as easy to "whip up" a pattern as I thought. Eternal thanks goes to all those who've created well-written patterns!
Two tests and two more nicely outfitted nieces later, I still didn't have a clearly written pattern.


So when this yummy yarn from Blue Sky came in to the store, I just had to have it. It was my inspiration kick in the seat of the pants to revise the pattern. A springtime version, to boot. So begins my revision process. I'll keep ya posted on the progress...
Besides, with five nieces, each practice run should fit SOMEone!
