Knitted Lace Sampler Shrug

This project has been languishing since August 2008 when I started it after watching this episode of Knitty Gritty.  I used a bulky weight alpaca that I bought when I first started knitting.

The knitting went well but at the time, I did not know how to mattress stitch or crochet so I never finished the shrug.  I found this project after I made out my list of works in progress so it was a surprise entry.

Now that I know how to crochet as well as seam, I was able to finish it.

Another bed shrug for the winter months.
