White Shrug

I did some shopping for a truly white summer cardigan/shrug/bolero. I bought a few dresses this summer that I would prefer to have a little coverage with and went frantically shopping for something that would do. Everything I found was either too expensive or too off-white.

Finally I decided that I as a knitter could knit one. The only problem was that I was already at the point where I wanted it two weeks ago. I found a pattern, picked a yarn and swatched (I even washed the swatches) in the space of 2 days. After that It took me only 3 days to knit.

The result was worth it. I will possibly make it again:
