Of course, I still chose cotton thread for my material ;) I also have not gotten tired of this shade of brown, so even if I got lots of other colors in stock, I still bought the 3 balls of cotton thread size 8 for this project. Luckily, the store near our house has the color I wanted.
I also had the magic hook (size 4/0, equivalent to 2.5mm) I wanted to use to create the right tension for the thread. A looser tension will make it more holey than I intended, and a tighter tension will make it heavier.
I'm happy with the result, it looks and feels just right...this is my favorite shrug from now on ;)
Oooh, I like this one lots!
ReplyDeleteVery cute love it.:) great job
ReplyDeleteI like it, too. Now when it is super hot out you can wear the breezy shrug, when it is a little chilly, this one. Great job!!
