DIC -- FO

Look, I finished my Dream in Color shrug!  It's a bit looser than I would have liked.  I got gauge on the stitches but not on the rows, so to compensate I knit 8 repeats instead of nine.  Then I blocked.  I didn't do it too severely, but the result is nice open lace but a slightly looser fit than I wanted.  Oh well.  I still plan to wear this with pride because I made it all by myself!
I should have smiled in this photo but I started to sweat as I posed at 7:30 a.m. on Friday.  It was already about 85 degrees.
