success, sort of

I finished the shrug!

I wound up doing a variation of Kitchener stitch, and boy did I regret it halfway through.

I did not regret ignoring the ladies at knitting who said I needed to knit a couple more inches before I joined it together. I was pretty sure it would stretch, and also fit better over something without sleeves, and I was right, so there. Actually it may be a bit big - the bottom of the back sort of flaps out a bit, so maybe that wants elastic, which is to say probably it wants cut down a little but I can't be arsed doing that so elastic might work.

Apart from that...

No, that's all the craft I've been doing the past few days. And now I am at that stage just past success, where you go... "what now?"

I don't know. I have a baby jumper which is only half-done, but that is dead easy. I kind of want to do something interesting. But having made something up - two things, in fact - even difficult patterns are looking sort of boring. But there's nothing I particularly want to make that I can try making up. I've been poking at ravelry, but nothing is jumping out saying "knit me!" Or "crochet me!" Improving my crochet also sounds boring.

Bah.
