I just had a thought, I have both of the Terry Ranck shardigan patterns and I was thinking that the Outback Mohair and coordinating Wool would be wonderful in the Summer Shardigan. It calls for three yarns so a polar ribbon would be nice for more pizazz, haven`t figured that yarn out yet but I`ll bet there`s something shiny here that would be nice. Maybe even the Sunshine. Hmmm... must check my stash. Any suggestions?

The Schachenmayr Goa looks good with the outback mohair. I made a scarf with the Rainbow dream mohair
and silver ebony Goa. It looks neat. The Goa looks like metal and the outback is so fluffy it makes a great contrast. The Goa is really soft and shiny. I bought the antique silver to go with the Lavender sunset and it looks good together.
I am also making the pattern Magic Grid, page 86 of the Spring Knitters magazine with the Outback mohair and the Austerman tropicana. It looks good so far.
I am using Casablanca mohair and gold tropicana. Ithink the tropicana sold out. I will send some pictures so you can see how it looks together.

Those combinations sound beautiful. I have looked at the Goa ribbon thinking how pretty it was. I even printed out the free pattern for it. :-} Bets is making the Magic Grid using the Outback mohair (bayou) and hers is stunning too. I`d love to see your pictures.
Thanks for the suggestions, I`ll go browse and dream.

Hi Libby,
Go to the Search button at the top of this page next to features and index. Click on search, for patterns by company and select Terri Ranck. She has two shardigan patterns. They are a cross between a shawl and a jacket or sweater. Looks like a fun thing to have to throw on when the weather`s cool.
