OK, finally finished the Twisted Float Shrug. I am really pleased with the way it came out. The only thing it needs is something to hold it closed. Thinking of either a hook sewn on, or crocheting a flower corsage. This shrug is meant to be able to be worn two ways, either with the long end to the bottom, or with the short end down which results in a larger collar. Will add some photos of the other next time.
Its hard to see the stitch pattern from this distance, so here are some close ups. I used ArtYarns Supermerino for the main, and Silk Fur for the border.

That's really lovely, Michelle. Perhaps you could use a small frog fastener to keep it closed? The fun fur border looks effective.
That is lovely. I really like the twisted floats. Thanks for the inspiration
Gorgeous Michelle! Just found your blog and beautiful work. Never thought I would like the shrug but it looks great.
Thanks for the inspiration and love the Carnival capelet, I'm presently working on the shawl.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Very impressive! I think it looks much better on you than in the book. Great work! :-)
It is beautiful. I love the construction... circles are my fave shape!
brillinat looks wonderful, where was pattern from?
It looks fantastic
Lovely colours and it looks great on you. I've worn mine hanging open and also fastened with a kilt pin, will probably add ties eventually.
Wow, that looks great on you. I'd lvoe to have the guts to knit that up, but I'm terrified of the pattern.
Wow! I loved it in Vogue and it looks amazing on. Ooooooo, so tempting... huge congrats.
This is sooo cool, I love everything about it, the ingenious construction, the beautiful colours and it really suits you :)

This is just great.How much yarn did you use?

Good to see the shrug finished. I'm about to start this project and was wondering if you had any problems with the directions. Allot of time there are mistakes that take a while to figure out. Did you have any problems?
You do some beautiful work!!!! I am knitting this shawl now... any advice would be appriciated! Stop by my blog too :)

There really weren't that many problems with the pattern. Once you get going, it is pretty quick. I ended up buying Denise needles and longer extensions because it was so big, and hard to measure. I also had trouble figuring out the gauge since its in a circle. This is also where the Denise needles came in handy, you have every size at the ready. The only thing I thought was misleading in the pattern was where to stop and do the edging, the pattern only gives you the full measurements, so take a close look. I ended up going to far on the body and having to rip out 2 inches stitch by stitch.
It looks absolutely beautiful on you! How much yarn did you use? Which colorways?
Hi, Michelle. Do you mind if I link to this post for the Twisted Float Shrug KAL I just started? I'd have emailed you for permission, but I can't find your address!
