With one sleeve left to finish on the Mama Vertebrae I tried it on. Just as I had suspected - totally unflattering on me. While I'm not going to frog it just yet it's sitting in time out until I decide what to do with it to make it a better fit for me.
In the meantime I have my 30th high school reunion coming up in 10 days, so why not cast on a shawl to go with my dress?
It's Antarktis and I'm using Briar Rose Sophie which seems to be discontinued because I can't find it on Ravelry or on their site.
It's a nice springy sport weight so I think it will look nice.
I'm still listening to Outlander. And now that the show is on a 6 month break maybe I can actually finish the book before it returns.
Joining Ginny.

I think a reunion shawl is a great idea Donna.
I'm sorry about the Mama Vertebrae, I hope after a while in time out you come up with a solution.
gorgeous colorway and 10 days you'll be done in no time at all :)
I love the idea of a reunion shawl!
Lovely colorway! Great idea!
I wanted to watch the Outlander series, but we didn't get that channel and I'm trying talk my husband into canceling direct tv. So I'm hoping that it will be on Netflix soon!
My mother-in-law read the entire Outlander series years ago. She loves it. She's told me so much about it. With the new series, I just might have to dig in!
Love the gorgeous colour and such a lovely thought a reunion shawl.
Loving the color way- very Fall- ish.
So funny that you are thinking of frogging an unflattering pattern! I'm terrified Amanda will be the same! I have really enjoyed browsing through your blog!
Those colors are beautiful. Go, go Outlander!
Love the gorgeous autumn colors in the yarn for your shawl.
I like this yarn. I did a shawl a couple of years ago of similar color. I wish it was a bit longer, but I was impatient!! Have a great get together. Never read or watched Outlander. Enjoy
I love using variegated yarn for shawls, such a perfect project for such lovely yarn!
What fabulous Autumnal colours, it will be beautiful when finished.
Thank you for your kind comment on my blog.

aw shame about your cardigan, what a pain :(
Love the yarn you're using for your shawl, very autumnal
I love listening to audio books. :)
Can't wait to see the finish project.
A shawl to go with your dress is a great idea. Shame about the cardi, I have one in time out at the moment too - I think its going to be frogged....
Ohhhh it's going to be gorgeous!! A reunion shawl is a great idea!! I knit up a few washcloths the other day thanks to your post. Would you believe we were at the Dollar Store yesterday and I forgot to pick up toothpaste & toothbrushes!!
Oh no! So sorry to hear that you don't like your finished cardi. Would you be brave enough to post some photos of you wearing it? Perhaps another blogger would have some suggestions on how to modify it.
such lovely, warm colors in the yarn you chose for your shawl!!
Those are great autumnal colours - it looks like it's going to be a lovely shawl :)
Bummer about the Mama Vertebrae. I think a time out is good. Take a step back and whatever you decide later will be right, I'm sure.
I loved this pattern. I hope you enjoy it too. I love that you're knitting it for a dress!
Love those colors-- sorry to hear about you not liking your first choice. Hope you like the reunion shawl!
Enjoy your reunion, the shawl will be lovely I am sure.
