Knitter Monkey

So, hey, we got married this weekend! It was fabulous, and it was 60 degrees, which made the I Do shrug quite welcome at the festivities. If you remember, it was about eight inches past my finger tips upon completion, so on Monday night last week, I did the scariest knitting thing I've ever done - I grabbed my circular and tried to carefully pick up stitches in a row (difficult to do when it's lace), and I cut off the sleeves. Success was mine, and when I was done, I had a warm, beautiful shrug that fit me well and complemented my dress beautifully:

Plus, it gave me a place to attach a monkey! (Even though you can't really see it in this picture.)
