Friday the 30th was a fun day for my husband and me. We spent the day with our moms visiting thrift stores - a thing my mom and i do a lot, but that his mom now that she is retired wanted to try! we hit several stores and found some very nice things for a lot of folks in the family for general purposes and holiday gifts, some holiday decorations for my husband and my new house and one very special item i could NOT pass up.
i saw it wrapped around the shoulders of a dress hanging on a door. the dress was black and it was white...it popped beautifully and had nice drape...i reached up to feel it...mohair! i love mohair! it felt...no, it couldn't be! on closer inspection i knew it was a hand knit shawl and a beauty at that! i took it down knowing i was buying it and wondering who i might have to convince to lend me money if i couldn't afford it.
this is such a beautiful pattern!
i read the tag...3.99!!! i could afford this all on my own and afford it i did!
it is a large square, folded into a soft and very warm triangle that i plan on wearing for the holiday this year! i am so excited to have found this special item and i really hope i can maybe decipher the pattern and maybe recreate it some day!
