Really pretty pattern and luxurious wool. The colour you have chosen would be flattering for the older face as well as the younger one.

Think of all the yarn you could buy to knit all these beautiful patterns...not too big...not too small....just right....
Ah...to dream....to dream the impossible dream...one skein at a time....
Thanks for the beautiful patterns and a chance to forget about other stuff for a while.

I have wanted to try knitting a mobius. I love all of the many different ways that it can be worn. The mohair will be a soft and elegant way to display all of the intricacies of the lace pattern as well as be a great way to stay warm. The color is so beautiful that I know it will look wonderful with so many different outfits. It looks beautiful and wonderful to wear.

What a great gift that would make!

Along with everyone else, I've been looking at knitting a cowl, and this is quite lovely. Felicitously, purple (or lavender!) is the Wee Monkeygurl's newest "favorite" color.

I saw a Mobius cowl at the Rhinebeck Sheep and Wool Festival this past weekend, only it was very dressy and knit with a slightly more lacey pattern, and a very expensive yak yarn--about the same weight, though. I bought the pattern, and now that I see this kind of yarn, I'm even more excited about it, since I see it can be done as a very dressy piece, or something one can wear every day. I think that the same could be done with the pattern here.

Pretty yarn and pattern!
Posted by: DonnaC | October 19, 2009 at 04:04 PM
What a great gift knit this would make and I sure could do some stash diving for yarn.
Posted by: Diane Pyle | October 19, 2009 at 07:13 PM
Wow, that is beautiful AND practical. I have a tendency towards sinus problems and sore throats, so neckwarmers are important to me, and this one is in my favorite color, too!
Posted by: Michele Payne | October 19, 2009 at 08:16 PM

Oooh! I don't know if I could stop petting the yarn long enough to knit the cowl - very tempting!
