Double horray! My exam went well and mohair came in the post. This is five 50g balls of phildar mohair and a mohair booklet that Albert bought me as a present.
drooool
The mohair booklet was only a euro so I figured I’d get it to have a look. It’s entirely in French. I knew it would be… but I wasn’t prepared for the complete indecipherability of french knitting patterns! I was planning on knitting the cardigan on the cover here, but it may take a while lol…
Check out my Olympic progress on Elspeth. I’m enjoying knitting it alot more this time round and not just because I have more experience. The gauge is tighter and the texture of the fabric is nicer.
This is the back piece. I plan on getting it finished before the weekend before the next spate of competitions and concerts come up! The front pieces are a bit more awkward because you have to keep an eye on the raglan and neck shaping, as well as the lace pattern. But the sleeves are just knit plain with a little bit of short row shaping, so I’m keeping them for the final sprint!
The mohair yarn you got is so beautiful, and gosh, I love the cardigan you’re going to knit – can’t wait to see the photo when its done! Congrats on the Olympic progress you’re making – keep up the good work and best wishes from Austria!
