I think the 8 extra rows of ribbing made it stand up too tall on my neck. I'm considering frogging back and following the pattern as written for the small--without the 8 extra rows. Any suggestions? Also, I'm getting a bit of the bubble back--(probably because I am really narrow). Is this something that can be fixed by blocking? <em>Zontee says: Hi Haley, if you're finding it's too tall, go ahead and rip back. The bubble back will be helped by blocking. Quite a few people have encountered this and overcome it on Ravelry, if you want to take a look at photos.</em> I just finished my shrug (size small with the ribbing rows equal to the medium size).

Very happy with my shrug. Unfortunately so is my daughter, mother-in law and mother! Guess I am going to be busy to supply Santa. Many thanks for this KAL. I’m done! Very happy with my shrug.

I've enjoyed knitting with all of you and can't wait for the day when i'm walking down a street and see one of you wearing your shrug. Stephanie, you've been great, I'll knit with you anytime! Can't wait for the next one. I’m almost done too, on the seed stitch part.

That is indeed very helpful. I had read in comments above about the missing purl in the instructions, I understand now where it goes :). Participating in this KAL is great, I've learned so much already and it is great having a community all doing the same project that you can ask when doubts arise. Thanks again!! I hope I can manage to finish up soon and post some pics. Thank you Pat! That is indeed very helpful.

That is correct. There will be 2 knit stitches together. A purl stitch will be added in Increase Rnd 2,you will be increasing between the 2 knit stitches then. Hope that helps! Lourdes (#25).

I just finished the first round of increases on the ribbing. The next round says to do [k1, p1, k2, p1] between the markers. So my question just to make sure I understand correctly, I am to continue this for 12 rounds which means I will have 2 knits right next to each other? I don't need to add a purl in there to continue a true ribbing with K1, P1? Thanks to anyone that can clarify!! I am a little behind but hope someone can clarify a part for me.

I am completed six of the seed stitch rows now, try to find out where (which portion of the shrug, ) should I make the buttonhole? Can it be make on the right side, bottom of the sleeve?

Hooray! I really like the fit of this shrug, particularly the lower back. The arms are a bit big for me, so I think I may just stitch them up a bit smaller and see how they work. Good luck finishing up, everyone! <em> Stefanie says: Hi Kelli! I really like to fit of the lower back, too! It makes the wearer look so slim! I'm glad you enjoyed the KAL! </em> Finished! Hooray!
