Wool on Sundays

Janine, from the Rainbow Hare blog, hosts Wool on Sundays each week. This week Janine has posted  photos of a beautiful small purse that she has crocheted. The front of the purse is an exquisite crocheted flower.
And this week I am posting about a finish from early this month. Last Christmas I gave DsD2 an IOU for a throw to be knitted in the colours of her choice. I had vaguely thought that maybe I could get the throw finished for her birthday in early April but when that didn't eventuate, I decided that maybe having the gift ready for Mothers Day instead seemed like a good goal. Especially as it would be the  first Mothers Day for her as a mum! About 3 days before MD, I had it ready.

But first I had 'a bit of a play' with photographing the throw...
Draped over a chair 😊

Draped over me! πŸ˜ƒ

And then all folded up and tied with ribbon! 
Stats: Slipstitch pattern
Yarns used are mohair yarns in 10-12 ply
Needle size was 6.5mm circulars
Number of stitches was 194
Each end was knitted in a broken rib pattern for 4cm approx.
The pattern I used can be found here in a post I wrote ages ago.
