MOHAIR WRAP FOR MUM

This is the wrap/throw I'm knitting for my Mother and the Ravelry Olympics. I'm in gift giving pentathlon! Go Team Oz !!!! the needle size is 10 cm and it's 2x rib. The ribs are soft and flowing but I think I'll need to get some more mohair as I want it to be bigger than a scarf and smaller than a blanket.

TEAL

I found a fantastic angora mix jumper for $6.00 last week. Is this colour Teal? it's more blue with green the photo makes it look more green, after frogging there's about 300 gm of 8 ply. I LOVE combining colours like this, I think this would look better if the red was more a raspberry colour.

MOHAIR FOR MUM

This is Te Awa Wools Soft Spun Mohair in Scotch Thistle, 100gm the colour's actually a little warmer than this. I'm going to knit a throw/shawl for my Mum, she likes my big grey scarf so I'll use the same size needles for her. The yarn came from Tasmanian Wool Suppliers, http://www.woolsuppliers.com.au/

GREY MOHAIR SCARF

Here's the finished grey mohair scarf, I used size 15 mm needles and plain knit stitch. I wanted a loopy puffy look rather than a flat thick look. We now have broadband!!! yay!!! I can visit Ravelry without freezing my computer. My favorite yarn store is now on line www.woolsupppliers.com.au my latest purchase was The Harmony Guide number two and 100gm=200mt ($17.00) hank of soft spun mohair in scotch thistle by TeAwa Wools it's a lovely soft mix of pinks, blues and lilac perfect for a shawl for my mum.
