This has been one of the busiest summers, travelling and visiting family. A trip to Italy was definitely exciting - a whirlwind tour of Amalphi coast, Rome, Florence and Venice. Both Rob and I have had the opportunity to experience Italy before - on our honeymoon, with friends and on business. This tour was with Rob's brother and his wife and needless to say we had an incredible time seeing all kinds of places we missed on our trips before. We ate and drank our way through these cities and I was lucky enough that in Rome I celebrated my birthday. As far as fashion goes every big city now has all the big chains, Zara and H&M being the most prevalent. Still there was fun in the markets and finding odd pieces that will remind me of this trip for some time to come. The coolness of Fall will be coming upon us soon so I thought this shrug was perfect for keeping away the chilly weather. The shrug is a long rectangle with a ribbed collar, fast and easy in a bulky weight yarn. A satisfying project to make for yourself and thinking ahead for gifts that will definitely be appreciated!

One rectangle, yes just one rectangle folded makes a shawl vest. When it comes to shrugs, there's never too many and there's always a different way to make one.
What's particularly appealing about this style is the collar that folds back.
The rectangle can be worked side to side with the end bands worked in a different stitch or worked up all in one.
Sew this style in a knit fabric, line it and you have a reversible shrug.
The last post was all about denim bags, one of which was a patchwork idea.
This style is ideal for turning all those different denim pieces into a spectacular shrug.
Crochet granny squares for the ends or as shown in the inspiration image, all throughout.
