A Emerald in Mohair
I just returned from a quick tour of San Francisco where hubby bear is working for a few weeks. Once the plane landed he picked me up and the tour didn’t stop until 4 days later when he returned me to airport. We saw some beautiful landscape and architecture which I hope to post soon.
My biggest find, however, was at a yarn shop in Chinatown. The tiny shop was filled with items knitted by the shop owner, an elderly Chinese woman. Along one wall was a collection of various yarns. I was drawn to one particular set of yarn in a shade of green that I couldn’t take my eyes off of. Another Chinese woman, a shopper in the store, translated as I asked about it. She declared it to be mohair. The package held 8 50gram skeins.
My husband pulled out the cash because there appeared no way to get me out of the shop without it. Now the problem. What do I make with it??? It must require no additional yarn because I doubt I can get any more. I would love to make a sweater but I don’t think there is enough. So, a scarf? a shawl? a teddy bear?
What do you think? Add you ideas to to the comments. I’d love to hear your ideas.
