Most Useless Shrug Ever, or, What I did With Those Unblocked Sleeves…

You may remember this from the Spring ‘o5 Issue of Knitty.

I’ll be honest. When I wear a cardigan, it’s for two reasons. Cold arms. And cold shoulders.

Somehow, the fattiest part of my body, the part right around my heart where there is the best circulation? Doesn’t really need that much help in the heating department.

My other issue? WTF is up with those arms? Does she look like Popeye underneath there? Is that the reason for all the excess fabric?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Yes, inquiring minds want to know … and once they discover the truth, they run like heck in the other direction.

Save yourself!

There need to be knitted gloves on the end; they would complete the “hazardous substance handling gloves” look! You know- those boxes with sleeves so you can work with delicate or toxic things withought actually touching them? Yeah.

Of course, the models may be wearing it wrong. Maybe it’s really a pair of legwarmers attached to a belt?
