The pattern is easy and relies on you to decide when to change to the 1 lace row required,as the colours change.
I soaked it to block and added some cheap hair conditioner to soften it,it did help.

GAIA SHAWL
This pattern from ravelry was designed for noro kureyon sock yarn,and came out so nice.Its not the softest yarn out there despite the price,it took 2 balls of 100gms that i got from an oz shop,Yay for yarn,about $25au a ball.

A DR WHO FINGERLESS GLOVE
Yup thats right one single fingerless tardis
mitt!
After by happy sucess with intarsia on the skull hats i made this for mister Dr Who fan,only i didnt have time to finish 2.He was thrilled anyway and never rejects what i make.
Pure wool again,pattern from ravelry,i made it extra long and loose as he doesnt like things tight on his skin,looking foward to the other one coming for winter next year.

CASHMERE COWL
A jane Thornley pattern,cowled capelet,i used 2 small skeins of ruby
cashmere from stitch diva studios after a bit of fluffing about whether they can be posted to oz,mixed up other yarns including cleckheaton 4 ply bamboo in black,mohair/silk/,bamboo tape,etc etc and ran the cashmere all the way through the pattern.
At last i managed to get a flow of stitches instead of blocks and this is so soft i could cuddle it for ever.
Swarovski crystal mobile phone charm just topped it off,very proud of myself.
