I followed Karines example and decided to try making the Streaker Shrug from the spring IK. Went to my LYS and got hooked up (I'm so cool)with some yarn but not just ANY yarn. I decided to make my shrug in Manos del Uruguay. It is GORGEOUS. I have a pic at home of the progress and must remember to post it later. I'm doing the pib in a pink-ish color and the body is in a beautiful variegated auburn/pink/dark burgundy. I can't wait to wear it!
In other news, I'm getting scared about travelling. I'm such a wuss...I don't know why, I should be all excited, but I'm getting a little panicky...Today, I found out that one of my best friends might be coming with me which, to be honnest made me even more worried...Are we gonna get on okay? What if we don't? How do we go about this and stay sane? I know all these questions are normal and that we'll have a great time, but I don't know... Brides usually get cold feet...maybe I have cold... wings?
Back on the knitting track, I've put down the Poma-nanana-us socks down to concentrate on the shrug, but i should get some pics of that progress up too, the colorway is wicked nice (now i'm from Boston!). So that's that for right now!
Happy knitting

Oooh... I wanna see your Manos shrug. Now I have something to look forward to!
Be careful, the shrug is addictively simple, you'll have trouble putting it down. I'm done knitting mine and I'll be blocking soon. Hopefully I'll be posting the finished pic soon...
