Here it is, at long last!
Yarn: Brooks Farm Primero (mohair)
Size: 33 1/2" - only did ten lace repeats for the ties and it could have been shorter; also eliminated about 12 rows on the length of the body
Me: 5'1", 34.5" bust
Overall, I'm much happier with the end result than I thought I would be! The yarn is super soft, not scratchy, and I think this will look really great with a flowy long skirt. I have a long chocolate brown skirt that I'll try this out with later this week at work (ugh, just the word "work" is enough to get me depressed!!)
Hope everyone's having a great weekend!
Another gorgeous project by Robin! Woot! I agree, your airy wrap will look beautiful with a long chocolate skirt, very pretty together. Get ready for loads of compliments when you go back to work!

Looks great on you Robin! I feel your going back to work pain :( But at least you'll look great in your new wrap and skirt!

Both sweaters look great. I'm still up in the air about the airy lacy sweater. I'm also short and short waisted. Would you mind posting a picture of the front and back? Or emailing me pics?

You go girl!! I see your needles have been burning rubber. 2 FOs in 1 weekend. Your Airy Wrap looks fantastic. I agree, I think it will go well with brown. Can't wait to see a picture.

Robin,
I was just thinking that the red Primerino that I picked up at the MD Sheep and Wool would look great done up in that pattern - and now I have the proof! It looks really good on you!! Thanks for the pics!
