Boudoir knitting?

Just finished a black silk/mohair black stole. I love the feeling of the yarn against my skin, it is so soft.

Did a good old fashioned feather and fan, 6 stitches repeats. Casted 197 stitches on 7mm needles, and mixed mohair/silk and fun fur with a bright turquoise ribbon. Cut and knotted at the beginning of every row for a fringe, turned out very well.

I'll leave it to air on the line overnight, it will fluff up more. This is my way of not blocking, but giving it time to stretch a bit. I feel lazy tonight...
