Tamsie did the impossible. She found a matching yarn for Elizabeth’s shawl!
It’s not perfect, but it’s close enough for hand grenades and horseshoes. The funny thing is that it’s the same colorway that I purchased when I tried to buy more yarn. When Colinette states that they hand dye each of their hanks and thus no two are alike, they’re not lying.
I’m still in the process of ripping back a few rows of the 1st skein of mohair so I can gradually incorporate the 2nd skein in.
Though, to be honest, most of my attention is focused on sewing the curtains for Elizabeth’s room. I am in the process of hand tacking the binding down. It didn’t really ‘need’ the binding since there were no raw edges showing, but as my neighbor would say “it adds that finishing touch”.

Yay! I’m so glad that you found a match.
Congratulations on finding the yarn, and great job on the curtains! I like the red binding, too.
Love that material!! Lucky on the yarn match!!!! Can’t wait to see it all together (E’s room, that is)…
The shawl is lovely… and I love the curtains. :)
You’ve been the proverbial busy bee! Elizabeth will have the best nursery ever!
