“THE SHRUG”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

………………I was always trying to create what I thought would be the perfect cover up for sleeveless tops and dresses. This OPEN KNIT SHRUG…….IMHO is the closest I came to perfection. I used a BOUCLE chain yarn knitted on an open gauge so it as really open and airy, but gave you full coverage. It weighed nothing and could be carried in a tote during the day and pulled out when it got cooler, or if you went into an airconditioned room…….It was so soft and pliable that it could be worn as a scarf [photo at upper right]. Due to the yarn and type of open stitch it never wrinkled and always looked perfect no matter how you stored it away…..It was really season-less…..It came in BLACK and IVORY. You could wear it over everything! I’m showing it over a WK tank with the waist whittling rib bottom, but it worked over all kinds of dresses, and prints as well as all solids….It looked great with a tank tucked into pants or tucked into the drawstring skirt and the SHRUG…..If you have it you know what I mean! Jac took them everywhere.
