Sock Yarn Shawl

One of my current projects is a triangular shawl in Schaefer Anne sock yarn. This yarn is 4 ply merino / mohair with added nylon. It is surprisingly soft and I'm liking the way it's turning out ( pictures posted when complete ). I chose a raspberry / green colourway which is quite subtle.

I've bought various colours from Woolly Workshop, Get Knitted and US site Simply Sock Yarn www.simplysockyarn.com/StoreFront.bok- the latter site offers excellent service; I have received yarn from them within 7 days from ordering.

Hoping that my Orenburg yarn will arrive tomorrow - am determined to finish my other shawl before starting the new yarn. Still undecided what stitch pattern to use - I'm hoping the yarn will speak to me! I may just have to sit with it for a while.
