I need some ideas for a mohair shawl - pretty swatch inside!

[mrs who]

A friend gave me 10 1/2 balls of kid mohair lace weight wool in this beautiful colorway:

 

 

(The swatch is just sc on several different size hooks - I was swatching for gauge.)

 

I think this HAS to be a shawl, but I have no idea what to choose! Should it be triangular so I can tie it over my shoulders? Should it be a lacey pattern or will that take away from the colorway?

 

Any ideas? :thinking2

i think this should be a lacy shawl but not triangle.. so more a wrap ... long rectangle.. so you can pull it up over your head if you want maybe kind of like a knit Clapotis ... but in a lacy pattern ... i *heart* those colours.. drooling over that yarn ..

Somewhere out there, there is a LA (I think) pattern book for wraps that has a pic on the cover of a girl with a long, orange, rectanglar wrap. I haven't bought it, but I think it would be perfect for that yarn if you're able to find it... I guess I will go hunt for a link!

Oh that is gorgeous! I think it would be great as Beth suggested. Lovely colors!

It's called Wrapped in Style I have it & the patterns are cute :)h .Got mine at Walmart.

Thank you! I tried so hard to find it online and I could not! I think they maybe use Divine yarn for that wrap, I've not bought the book cuz that's like the only pattern I like. But it is open enough to show off the yarn and soo cozy looking!

 

I was able to find it with Alisha's (right?) help! Here's the link for the wrap I'm thinking of!

What beautiful colors.. wow

 

I think I've seen that book actually... was it the one that had the rectangular shawl that was clasped with a pretty brooch on the front? Would a clip or brooch (sp??) stretch mohair thread like that?

 

That's truly yummy.. wow
