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*

Source: Flower Basket Shawl from Interweave Knits Fall 2004
Yarn: Hayfield 80% Luxury Mohair (101m at 50g; 80% Mohair; 10% Acrylic; 10% Nylon); 3 skeins in millstone; 5.5mm

Modifications: Yarn and needle size, I'm not sure if I added or subtracted repeats, I lost count in the ball of fuzz
