Mohair Flower Basket Shawl

This is my very first lace project. Instead of using lace or fingering weight yarn, I found some mohair in the stash and made this. The larger gauge was perfect for a beginner lace project although the end product is very fuzzy and it sheds on anything and everything it touches... still, it's kinda pretty.

*I just began blocking it to death, better picture will follow*
