My Sterling silver yarn is here! - I CAST ON! Pg5

[Silver]

WOW.. just WOWOWOWOWOW! It's sooo silky soft! And sparkly! Just breathtaking. The prettiest yarn I've ever had...





*CLICK the pix for full size!*

So.. now for the pressure of designing the perfect sock pattern to do it justice...

ETA: I have to admit, I'm not sold on writing a sock pattern. I almost couldn't bear to put this yarn on my feet, let alone into shoes... How about a scarf/wrap??

It looks so pretty, I can't wait to see pics of it knitted up!!

if you make some fingerless gloves, you can wear them while you're knitting (if you're not too busy ogling them ) and have that wonderful sterling softness at your fingertips!

I vote for a slouchy hat (that you send to me). I am very jealous of your yarn!

Not to hijack this topic, but speaking of socks, they did socks on Knitty Gritty this week (maybe a rerun, I only got the channel last week). I was shocked that you weren't the guest, Silver! Please tell me they at least invited you to do it?

The woman they had was good, I'm not knocking her. I'm just saying that for as many people you have taught socks, they should have at least mentioned your tutorial.

And returning to the silver yarn, how cool!

I love that yarn.. You have a better picture of it here then I have seen of it on the web..

I vote on a wrap or something like that.. At least people will see it then. Sock..NO way..

I want some! I love silver. A wrap/shrug/shawl would be pretty if you have enough yardage.

That is SOOOOOOOOOO purdy!



And yeah...on the Knitty Gritty, I DVRd it, and I was watching with dd, and I was telling that woman..."Ha ha. Silver is better!"
