I’ve had this yarn lurking around in my stash for a few months, and I’ve finally given into the temptation to pet it. It’s 420 yards of fingering weight 63% superwash merino, 30% silk, 12% nylon, and 2% silver fabulousness - a gorgeous and deliciously soft combination. I don’t want to knit socks with it: way too pretty to be restricted to my feet. I was thinking a rhombus-shaped plain stockinette scarf, but now I’m thinking perhaps a Lace Ribbon Scarf?

…..I’m just sayin’………..
jen added these pithy words on Jul 30 08 at 10:45 amI have a pattern that I got from Knitty that’s called “heart” by stephannie roy, i think the pink/red combo would look pretty awesome w/ the hearts…or how about a cloche style hat? it would definitely turn heads

(Thus not having to decide between small wrap/headscarf/cowl). Plus then you get to shop for buttons!

Regina added these pithy words on Aug 18 08 at 5:17 amThanks Liz for enabling with another pattern. I have some yarn which seems to be similar to the one you have with a wee bit of sparkle in it. I had no clue what I was gonna do with it, now I have a pattern. Oh yah and thanks for the heads up/kick in the ass about Safari!!! It rocks! Even on a pc.
