I was inspired by all the shrugs the knitters were creating (especially vysews drop stitch), and since I don't know how to knit, I made my own crocheted shrug.  Yay for crochet!  It's done with lover's knot stitch and took only ~4 hours and one plus a tiny bit more balls of yarn.

Wa-how!
That is absolutely gorgeous, i adore it. I may just die if I don't knit/force my knit-savvy mother to knit me a shrug.
The little sleeves are so cute, and the colour is gorgeous, especially with that top. Is lover's knot hard? I can crochet a little, but I'm not sure if this is too hard for me...

Lover's knot is an unusual type of stitch, but is not difficult if you have good instructions.  I just taught myself off the internet via this pattern, the ultimate lover's knot instructions...
http://www.craftown.com/crochet/pat52.htm
So to make use these instructions, you don't actually have to make their shawl, just repeat rows 1 and 2.
Any others I found didn't make nearly as much sense because this one sets you up to actually make a series of the knots interconnecting.

This is really gorgeous. I've been wanting to make a cardi of some sort and I think this might give me the courage to do it.

Your shrug is absolutely lovely; hard to believe it was made in only four hours. Might I inquire as to a pattern or schematic?

This is so nice...  I've knitted a rectangular shrug, and was just thinking of doing another one this morning...

Did you crochet a flat piece for yr shrug?  What's the dimension like?  It's so body hugging and nice.
