So here we are on another WIP Wednesday - and of course, I have one in the works; below are pics of the blanket for my sister Auntie Fashion, after 2 skeins-worth of James C.Brett's 'Moonlight Sonata'. I have sent her a ransom message, saying send cash for more yarn or the blankey gets it.
I am assured the cash for at least one more skein (perhaps even two) is en route as we speak ...
And I guess by the law of averages, it would happen in the end. I actually scored some good stuff in one of my local charity shops, the St.Elizabeth Hospice clearance shop, no less:
It says, 7 x 25g. balls, and the price is £1.50 ($2.44). Upon reaching home and hastily ripping open the bag to see what I'd bought, it turned out to be 8 balls of Paris Sheen Mohair by Sunbeam, 25g/50m (70% mohair, 13% wool, 9% nylon) in a lovely shade of light silver; now discontinued.
So at last, Mr. Kitten, I did find something cool and good and a bargain ! My one find vs. your hundreds. Still, I mustn't repine. It is currently sitting with a scented drawer sachet to reduce/remove the musty old aroma it brought with it.
With this find, I hope I have started a trend for myself .... But go along to Tami's Amis and see what other trends are happening today ....
Ooh, love the mohair yarn.
ReplyDeleteThe blanket is lovely!
ReplyDeleteI am loving that blanket so far ... and you can't go wrong with mohair. Nope. Almost never.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely blanket!
ReplyDeleteOooo! Mohair! That's a great score! I never have that type of good fortune at the thrift store.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a great find, hopefully the first of many! I trust you'll use that lovely silver mohair yarn for something special for yourself?
ReplyDeleteAs a kid I had a small plot in the garden and always planted glads. I think my faves were called the Midnight Queen (black) and Emerald Isle (green) - Mom did not appreciate my color choices.
Wow and aw. I love that mohair. You've got really lucky!
