Late post but FO!

Yay! After completing nearly 30 mini stockings, I finally finished off something adult size!

My Dream in Colour Shrug is done and I love it. I added an extra pattern repeat and didn't turn back the cuffs. When sleeves end at my elbows, I find I have Popeye issues (large forearms) so prefer shorter or longer. I will probably whip up another of these as I can see it will be very useful in sub tropics.

I had a bit of a dummy spit regarding the mini stockings(MSs). Now I know people who craft understand the value of hand made, and those who don't...well, don't! That's ok. I didn't expect the MSs to have a huge price tag on them, but was disappointed when I spotted them at the market. I was there at 9am and just felt the $2 was a little low.

I accept the seller must meet the market buyer's price and this was the last chance before Christmas to sell them. Also, it wasn't a craft market as such, which I think makes a huge difference. Anyway, I will definately be re-thinking any further handmade donations.
