Yet another cropped top...

Lincraft are selling 250g bags of yarn from the Wangaratta Mill Shop for $5 ... the yarn is not labelled as to it's ply etc, but there is a massive selection of everything from fine 4 ply up to at least 12 ply.
I used about two and a half balls (there were six in the pack) of this green self striping 8 ply.
Again I used the directions in Barbara Walker's Knitting from the Top...I made it exactly the same as my Bendigo Shrug, but left the front edges straight instead of decreasing them down. Now that it's finished, it reminds me a lot of the Anthropologie-insiped Capelet

Oh, nice knitting, especially the colour!!!! It looks fab too. I didn't know those books had knitting elements. My friend likes them so I shall have to borrow them from her!!
Happy New Year!!!

Very nice shrug! I love the color - very springy.

that looks great! What do you reckon the fibre content of the yarn was? I agonised over those packs but left them there because I just couldn't guess what I was buying. I wish I had now, tho!
