I actually finished this shrug a couple of weeks ago but didn't get it seamed in time for the knit group Christmas meal. As I have a big new project lined up for after Christmas (Santa will hopefully be popping the yarn down the chimney on Friday) I got on and finished the seaming this weekend and got daylight photos.
Pattern: Silk Shrug from Classic by Erika Knight
Yarn: Rowan Purelife British Sheep Breeds DK
Needles: 3.25 and 3.75mm
Mods: made longer sleeves by casting on 66 sts, increasing every 10 rows to 80 sts and following pattern from there.
I think it needs something to hold it together otherwise it pings open. I am happy with the sleeves but would be happier if they were slightly narrower, but I did wing it with those!
For anyone concerned about the welfare of the penguin at no. 17, he'll be getting a little something in a couple of days!

Hmm, is the yarn pile getting to the same proportions as the 'to read' pile? I like your shrug, and glad to hear little penguin isn't going to be left out either!
Your shrug looks great in that yarn and I love the longer sleeves. I must make one like this. nice work!
