Lace, Lace everywhere and Not a Shawl to Wear
I finished the green Spring Things Shawl made out of some lace weight mohair that was given to me by Lissy. It was a very quick knit and started at the top center of the shawl and worked it out and down. I haven't blocked the shawl yet which is why it isn't ready for wearing.
Before even finishing the shawl I came upon some
lace weight Malabrigio. I had heard that it existed before, but I think it was discontinued for a while. Let me tell you, in the skein, this yarn is absolutely wonderful. It has the soft supple feel of traditional Malabrigio yarn. I bought 3 skeins of the yarn and I think that I will be trying to design a shawl with it.

Now that I have finished this shawl, it is time to move onto my next project, which I will try to blog about on Thursday.

Pretty shawl. And I want to see that purple in person sometime!
Wow, you really transformed that hairy mohair yarn into something wonderful! So glad it turned out well for you. The Malabrigo look yummy -- all striated and variegated and lovely. Can't wait to see what you do with that!
The shawl is beautiful. Esy for you maybe, I seem to lose my focus doing shawls. I dunno.
I agree about the malabrigo lace weigth. I had gotten some recently and now I want a skein in every color. I am going to male a simple shawl with mine.
