WIP: Silk Neckerchief

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.

Photos stronger than words update?










Happy New Year's one and all! A quick update to show ya what I've been up to lately (rather than writing a bit too much about the last month or so..)

In order: Christmas Eve, small dinner at my house where I finally used tips from Lifehacker's blog on how to fold napkins prettily, handmade Christmas gifts for friends - crochet peeling banana doll wearing the official "B.a.G." badge (spell it out), ninja plushie doll, 3 sets of jewelry for 3 lovely girls and my recently decorated room with several posters and postcards. I believe that brings us up to date?

25 = 5^2

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)
