I love Rowan and not surprisingly I *LOVE* this yarn. It's ribbon plied with wool. So soft and edgy but not all ribbon-looking.

It's fast to knit, pretty and warm. Also asymetrical in a "je ne sais quoi" kinda way. Instant gratification!! I LOVE IT!!

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.
