Yee­haw — I’m so glad to post a new FO!!
YUP YUP — I fin­ished the shrug for Emily. It only took me a few hours, spread out over 3 days.

I added a shell bor­der around the neck, and 2 rows of sin­gle cro­chet along the bot­tom edge, and a row of sin­gle cro­chet around the arm holes. It used almost an entire skein of White Sim­ply Soft, with an I hook.

I’m already work­ing on two other projects:
a bucket hat for R and a Shawl for me!!!

I’m feel­ing really good about most things now, so I am lov­ing the feel of all my yarn again. It’s so funny — I’ve had these fibers for quite some time, but when they’ve been locked up in stor­age con­tain­ers for almost a year — tak­ing them out again is like buy­ing new yarn (with­out the price tag!)
Plus, this past week­end, I was in Wal­mart to grab 2 skeins of Home­spun for the Shawl, and hap­pened to peek at the clear­ance shelf — They had Bernat Foxy on clear­ance for .50 skein!!
I scooped up 20 balls (and for­got all about the Home­spun — which was fine, cuz I found some in my stor­age bins!)
