Combine your favorite Vodka, ginger beer, and lime in a copper cup and you have a refreshing beverage that you can enjoy while you sit back, relax and knit away the worries of your day.

This shrug was designed for just that. Sit, Sip and Relax. The provisional cast on is followed by the main body, which is worked vertically in stockinette – the rows will fly by. Then the cast-on stitches are returned to the needles, creating the sleeves, and a decorative mesh stitch edging is worked in the round.

This is the perfect project to help you cast all your cares away.
