Here's a photo of my completed throw for the Rowan Hearth and Home exchange.
I'm fairly pleased with it but remind me never to plan to knit a mohair throw in a UK Heatwave ever again. It has now been laundered and is on it's way to the post office.
It has a very long way to travel so I hope it doesn't get lost on route and that the recipient will enjoy it.
I'm swatching with yarns trying to decide on my next project, I still have the Diamond Fantasy shawl on the go so that rules out another shawl. I'm debating on the merits of Turbulence or Ogee from the Knitting nature book if I can find a suitable yarn

Posted by: blueadt at July 19, 2006 11:58 PMThe throw looks great; you must have been so hot knitting it in this weather!
Posted by: Wibbo at July 19, 2006 10:38 PMIt's lovely, that's a really lucky recipient! I'm amazed you've mananged to get it finished in this heat, especially as you've been poorly. I hope you are completely well again now.
Posted by: Kirstie at July 19, 2006 08:30 AMThe throw is absolutely fantastic, beautifully made and with such love too. I think the recipient will love it, it is full of comforting hugs.
Posted by: Louise at July 18, 2006 10:15 PMthat is amazing - totally beautiful. I have read about magic carpets but that is the first time what looks like it should be a magic throw. Destined to be a a real treasure for the recipient I reckon

Posted by: Annarella at July 18, 2006 07:32 PMthat is simply stunning. I wouldn't just question knitting mohair in a heatwave, though, but also knitting something so large! You must be incredibly determined. I'm sticking to socks and scarves at the moment: thy're not exactly seasonal but they don't cover my overheating lap with knitting
Posted by: rosie at July 18, 2006 05:37 PMI LOVE Ogee - near the top of the to-do list for me. Your h&h gift looks gorgeous, I'm sure that it will be appreciated, I can't believe you knitted it in this heatwave!
I agree -- absolutely lovely!
Posted by: Wendy at July 18, 2006 12:42 PMThat's absolutely lovely, Yvonne. Lucky recipient!
