This project was to be a Mother's Day gift for my mom.. She's a big fan of neckerchiefs and silk ones at that. I had bought 2 skeins of silk yarn while in Argentina with the intention of making her a shawl. But I noticed.. she doesn't wear shawls. She has a few dozen mini scarves and can't seem to get enough of them. Not to mention that I couldn't work on this project on the train considering only my size 5 circulars and size 8 flat needles were train friendly and I'd be needing size 10s... so I figured a small project would do just fine.
This in its early stages at about 35% done:

This was after the second attempt. I should've known that using metal needles + silk yarn was going to be troublesome - it makes for some very fast knitting.. but.. one of the stitches slipped off at one point. I tried undoing rows and picking the stitches up but silk is VERY slippery! The whole thing became undone.. le sigh..
More to come when it's finished and blocked.

I love playing with numbers.. and guess what 25 means? Quarter of a century.. another '82 baby turns 25 this year. Oh the horror!
My 25th birthday is this November 3rd, a Saturday (oh yeahhh).
In order to make the process a little less dramatic (ha) I wanted to create a small giveaway on my blog. Just leave a comment and you just might be the lucky winner of 3 pins from my shop - your choice! (You can view the pin select
here). I figure I'll write down the names of the commenters and pick one at random from a hat.
I'll post the winner on Monday! Good luck :o)
