When I was in Geneva, Switzerland, a few years ago, I bought some mohair yarn.   I started a few projects with it, but I always ended up tearing them out, as none ever seemed quite right.  While working the election polls this summer, a woman mentioned a pattern available at Yarnspirations that I thought I would try.  Following is the result.  (The only change I made was to pick up and knit the back rather than sew the pieces together later.)  Luckily, the striping matched fairly closely–I didn’t try to make it so.  Anyway, it is a very light, versatile shrug (modeled by my daughter).  🙂
