Lacy mohair-cashmere scarf

Knocked off another WIP, to complete my lacy scarf, shown here in early August.

It was a very simple project, from the book Crochet One-Skein Wonders, edited by Judith Durant and Edie Eckman.  I did it in a mohair-cashmere blend yarn, which was in a variegated army green and purple colour mix.

Despite the open spaces, the material makes it quite warm.  Best for cool days/evenings, or non-windy cold days.  It's just over a meter long (about six feet), so it can be worn several ways.

The lace is simple.  It's just a repeated shell pattern.  But it looks so much fancier!  It didn't need finishing, because the combination of the finagling done at the start, and the chain three between rows gives it a consistent edging.

Now to complete more of my WIPs.  Working on another scarf at the moment, as well as the Tunisian lace shown last time.
