Oh, yeah, I just saw some of that yarn when I was out of town last weekend...it's yummy, indeed ;)
How many yards, etc? One pattern I've seen for silk like that was a book cover...but that seems kind of boring.

Ahhh, that would be totally cool to make a book cover & I def. would if I used a particular book all the time like a journal or something..will keep it in mind though.
Hmm :thinking: Someone was thinking
Rhy :XX:
THIS (http://www.spunmag.com/article/050605bookcover) is where I found it.

I have this pattern which seems perfect. It's from the pattern a day calendar. It's made out of a silk yarn just like yours.

I did this scarf http://www.wiseneedle.com/patternpage.asp?pattern=knitpatbarbour2 and a tam for my SL. The weight was great for a tam. I run a kid mohair, in navy, with the sari to give it a softer look. Have fun and remember to knot the ends, the stuff is to slick and heavy.

It's a knit-a-long! People who want to knit the same item post about their yarn choices and progress.` It's fun!

HI
Just be sure to wind the yarn into a ball by hand. I had a defective skein of their cotton viscose. It was breaking in the middle of the project. Mango moon told me that winding it on a ball winder may harm the yarn. They are also being very nice and sending me a new skein.

:thinking: well heck, thats great that they are sending you a new skein!
Yeah, i dont have a winder, so i did it by hand, what a racket i must say, was in knots..but tis done!
Just realized that Mothers Day is next wk so im using it for something for my Mumma.
Cheers,

Rhy,
Once again you've chosen a gorgeous yarn. I can't wait to see what you turn out with it. I just loved your other scarf that you knit lengthwise. I am sure whatever you do will be a masterpiece!
