The puffless, sleeveless, puffy sleeve shrug

...is now ready to wear. In fact I have already worn it, but now all loose ends are finally tucked in and sleeping. I close it with one of the large safety pins I use for a stitch holder, demonstrating its position in the twilight zone of straight off the needles and never to be blocked.

I have considered using the same basic structure for my all-fall project the More Berries Jacket, but now I see that it needs some bust to stay in shape. This is not kidswear.

Puffy Sleeve Shrugb (without the puffy part)

After the house move, I found myself with a very limited portion of my yarns available. Huge thanks to Jostein for bringing my leftover basket!

Unraveling half a teddy bear I found yarn for the Puffy Sleeve Shrug from winter 2006/2007 knit.1 magazine. (Abbyjaye has a flickr shot of a PSS in the same stage of progress as mine, and almost the same colour).

I am intrigued by the body geometry of this thing. But I might alter the sleeves to unpuffed ones, I think.
