I’m beginning to appreciate the knitting side benefits of my gluten-free, bake-free lifestyle. Two weeks ago I was feeling a bit like a mad, obsessed knitter. That was before I began to see the results of the hours and hours of knitting.

Lily Chin’s Five-Way Cable Shrug was an absolute joy to knit. I never caught on to the rhythm of the cables but I had no trouble following Lily’s chart. I did use a highlighter to mark up the increases because they were new to me and they were used frequently. The Green Tea Heather colorway in Wool of the Andes worsted is going to go with everything! It even looks pretty good with my autumn outfit that I hadn’t planned on wearing for the photos.

I love the Stitched Buttons in Seaspray that I chose for my wrap. A little bit of whimsey.
