Still haven't finished my Pi shawl, but today I did some plying, spinning, and dyed my mohair. I'd hoped for a darker color, but I'm sure this'll be nice. I soaked the hanks of mohair in warm water, a little detergent, and alum for about 1.5 hrs before I dropped them into the pot. When it's cool, I'll hang it to dry.

I'm six rounds of plain knitting until the end of the Pi shawl, then I can start the lace edging. Thinking of a leaf-like edge. I also started a scarf using my black and green drumcarded mill-ends fiber, but realized I don't need a scarf. I stopped after a few pattern repeats and began to knit feather and fan from one of the edges. Should be ... interesting.
