She really was a good FO photographer. Now that she is in an apartment, I doubt she will be visiting very often :-(
But I bring you an FO picture anyway. Hubadub tries. He's a sweetie. And if truth be told, he didn't get much help from the model. I could have straightened things up a bit.
Pattern: Ribbed Lace Bolero
Yarn: Hobby Lobby Hushabye (A cotton/acrylic blend that really gives Cotton Ease a run for its money. It's a shame it doesn't come in more colors.)
Needles: 7 (4.5 mm) and 9(5.5 mm)
This is really a fun pattern; however, EZ's sewn cast off got a little annoying (worth it, but annoying.)
I really feel like I've gotten a little more confident with my knitting. Maybe "confident" isn't the word. I'm more comfortable with my knitting. I've given myself permission to stick with simple things and not get hung up on the fact that I'm never going to be a knitter of ornate patterns. Once I got over that hump, I'm much happier with the projects I've completed. Of course, there was really no reason to be so angsty about my knitting to begin with, but that's just the way I am. (I wonder how many others need knitting therapy.)

What a lovely shrug! It turned out very nice!
We all need knitting therapy some times. The shrug is adorable and maybe we can get a group rate for the husbands to take photography lessons. Mine is terrible.
I think that's normal - I see beautiful knitted objects and feel less-than if I don't attempt the same thing. But really, we should feel accomplished to be knitting anything at all! Think of the people who can't knit! They're the ones who should feel bad! (just kidding) :o)
Looks great! I like the color of it, too.
