I'll be Aunt Cecilia's been watching you glorify her mohair with your donations etc. I too attempted to give in to the mohair rage of the early 70s. Unfortunately before I could finish the beautiful red mohair v-neck with cables at centre front and back and centred on the sleeves I ran out of the lovely red yarn. And then before I got around to buying more yarn, I GAINED weight. Duh! Did I say I was a procrastinating Gemini too? That unfinished sweater has travelled across Canada from coast to coast with me and I have never been small enough to wear it since. I should dig it out and make a pillow or purse out of it. LOL. Oh the memories. ps very lovely mittens. Wow, what a cool story!
