The first one is a shrug I made for my daughter for Christmas...well, for January. ;-) Here she is modelling it:

And here's the back:

It came out pretty nicely. I used a pattern from the Internet, but changed the pattern stitch, changed the edging, changed the cuffs...so it doesn't look exactly like the original anymore.
I liked the pattern stitch so much, I decided to make up my own dishcloth pattern using it. Here's a photo of the finished object:

I'll post the pattern in a separate message so you can try it out for yourself if you like.
So now I'm working on a second shrug for my other daughter, Heather. Same pattern stitch, but she's chosen a different edging and cuff, so it will be uniquely hers.
I wish I had four hands so I could knit twice as fast!
So what are you working on now?
