More shrug pics (also, I'm home)

I am home at last from Italy, and I had an absolutely amazing time. I'll be writing a lot and posting photos on my regular blog soon, though I am still adjusting to the time and getting back into my life here.



I will say, I got a lot of use out of my cropped raglan shrug in Italy (in the above photo, I was on the Lido in Venice). We had to cover our shoulders to go into churches, which we did quite frequently for classes. I also found my shrug to be perfect over dresses in the evenings, and because it washed so wonderfully, I wore it all the time.



These two were at the botanical garden in Padua, which I just loved.



I didn't bring any knitting with me to Italy, nor did I find any yarn shops. I was honestly too busy painting and studying to get around to it. Since returning, I've knit on my Summertime Tunic a bit, but I had better get back to work on the baby set before the baby grows out of it!

I hope you all have had a lovely summer thus far, and I look forward to getting back in touch!
