I finally decided on my 1st project for SOL: the Mystic Meadows shawl by Anna Dalvi (http://knitandknag.blogspot.com/), using some 100% silk I found in Kyoto a few years ago. The yarn was dyed to be used for weaving a kimono or obi, but was either an extra skein, or a mistake. In any case, it’s been in stash, waiting for the right project.
I wound the yarn using a swift and baller, but the ball got so big it flopped around a bit, so I took it off the baller to finish by hand – and this is what I got. There are so many tangles, and the yarn is so thin, I’ve managed to make some progress, but I don’t see me starting to actually knit for a while longer.
