Lassie come home

I'm a woman of extremes - it's all or nothing for me. During the trip to Rome I started knitting a shawl made of mohair yarn (needle recommendation 2mm and gauge 41 stitches / 10 cm). I bought 100 grams of this Royal Mohair and there might be some left. - Then, last night I caught a haunting image of Rowan's Bigga Print which should magically transform into a long coat. Yesterday would have been a perfect day to wear it - too bad that I haven't even started knitting it yet. It's just that even though I thought I bought "plenty" of that yarn, there's only about 30 metres of it in each ball. I may run out of yarn before I even realise. Maybe I should reconsider another pattern. Like Highland Lassie here on page 1.

So, what about the Italian shawl then? It's a s-l-o-w process, I'm telling ya. I've just kept myself entertained by inventing names for it. Photos will follow, you'll be welcome to throw your suggestions in then.
