I think I’ve finally found the perfect project for my lovely Elsebeth Lavold Angora.

I love it, I love it, I Do!

It’s the gorgeous lacy shrug pattern from the new Knitty.

It looks to be the right gauge, but I haven’t swatched yet. I wear my green Kathmandu shrug all the time, so having another shrug makes practical sense. Elsebeth Lavold’s intoxicating Angora yarn doesn’t make practical sense, like, ever, but it was one of those times when I knew I had to have it. I think it’s the first time I’ve bought yarn with no project in mind. I bought the whole bag. Fortunately, I had a bunch of store credit, or I never could have brought it home. But that color of red had my name on it, and I wasn’t about to let it slip away.
