It Doesn't Itch!

I was at my Loch Norman Knitting Guild meeting on Tuesday and tried on a shoulder shawl knitted from Moonlight Mohair using the Frilly Wrap pattern from Creative Knitting Sept. 2005. It was cozy and DID NOT ITCH (not much, anyway). Since Moonlight Mohair seems to be closing out, I hit a WalMart and a Tuesday Morning store for 1/2 price purchases. Here is the first one I knitted...takes two balls and about 6 hours or so. I am going to experiment with buying "arty" buttons at the yarn shop and sewing to one side and let the wearer use the big holes in the shawl as buttonholes, rather than the brooch the pattern calls for. I plan to give these as Christmas gifts (keeping one or two for myself).
