Having started the scarf for my mother, every time I mentioned it she said, "That's nice, how are you getting on with my shawl?" I took the hint, and cast on for the lacy mohair shawl I had promised her. It's made with a Sirdar 50% kid mohair/ 50% polyester blend, and is a simple garter stitch triangle on huge needles. My DH calls them the girders. Although knitting with them for long periods hurts my wrists, I was able to complete the shawl and hand it over today. It was very well received, and is modelled here by the recipient.
The scarf is nearly done too, and I gave it a test fit today. I'm going to make it a little longer than I would normally wear it.
The first simple stocking stitch sock is done, and I've finished the ribbing of the second one.
The Finn wool jumper continues to haunt me.
