They were those funny looking garments that were "just sleeves," for lack of a better description. A real fad 5-6 years ago. Some trends (capris, 3/4-length sleeves) from the late 90's have endured, yet shrugs have all but disappeared. Does anyone else remember those things? ------------- Look for beauty, and you will find no intelligence. Look for intelligence and you will find both.Proud member of the Cult of All Soft |

Actually I don't remember them but i was informed about them 6 months ago when a friend told me she was crocheting one. I also decided to crochet one for my 6-year old daughter - she was a flower girl in a wedding in March. I wanted her to have something to wear outside that would keep her arms and shoulders warm without hiding her lovely dress. By the way, it was a pain (in my opinion) to crochet and I won't be crocheting any more shrugs. Caramia

I TOTALLY remember shrugs...I never had one, but I saw them around lots of times back some years ago. I've recently seen one or two people wearing them for a formal/prom kind of thing, but nothing else. Think they'll ever come back? |

Eventually everything, no matter how impractical or ugly, comes back in style (shudder.) I started this thread because this weekend I saw one solitary shrug on clearance at TJ Maxx. I hadn't seen them in years and it jogged my memory. Caramia I like your idea of wearing one with a formal dress, however. I think it might be easier to get a matching shawl but I commend you for taking the effort to make one! ------------- Look for beauty, and you will find no intelligence.

I love shrugs....especially oversized ones in soft knit fabrics......super comfy They were definitely popular about 4 years ago....but then disappeared.. What's cool about them is that they're really easy to make

Yeah, I seem to remember having a pink shrug four or five years ago.
