One Skein of Silk


Several months ago, I purchased one skein of recycled sari silk yarn to make a scarf, wound a ball, and then neglected it. Somehow, I'd fallen away from knitting -limited as it had been- but would now like to get back into the rhythm of clicking needles.

I'm feeling the urge to fiddle with my fingers and make something beautiful.



I haven't used this kind of yarn before. If I understand correctly, it is made from remnants and scraps of the silk used for colourful, shimmering Indian saris.



Rummaging through my knitting needles, I'll see if I can find suitable ones for the project. Then, some simple stitches will yield, I hope, a pretty product.

One skein of silk, one skein of salvaged-loveliness, one skein of possibility. 

I would do well to emulate "one skein of silk".

I'd love to hear your thoughts,
Karen

  4. I think you can make something very beautiful with that. It looks like you might could get tangled pretty easy with that, but don't lose heart and keep at it. Determined hearts creates awesomeness!!
    Merry Christmas,

  5. I always love the idea that you can make a special something from just a few simple materials. Your yarn is very beautiful, and whatever you make with it will be lovely, I'm sure. I hope you enjoy the peace and calm of knitting it over Christmas!
