perfect little shrug

I had been in the search for a cute (and easy) shrug pattern to crochet. This pattern was particularly easy because you make a long rectangle and sew it together in two places to make arm holes.

I was crocheting this shrug during the prelude at church one Sunday and a couple ladies behind me asked what I was doing. They didn't know what a shrug was. Let me enlighten you.

A shrug is defined as:

a woman's close-fitting cardigan or jacket, cut short at the front and back so that only the arms and shoulders are covered.

Then there is a bolero which is a woman's short open jacket. I hope I set you straight and that you learned something new!

The pattern I used, I found via ravelry.com. It's a free pattern by Cindy Coleman called,  "Perfect Little Shrug."

 

I hope you weren't offended by my topless dress form and I can assure you, that this shrug, when worn, will be accompanied with clothes. I probably should've paired the shrug with something.
I'm trying to get better about finishing one project before starting another. I would like to get to sewing again, but I just started a poncho the other day. I also have a baby gift I need to start crocheting. What projects are you working on?
