I’ve been sitting on two hanks of Artyarns Regal Silk, deciding what should become of it. It’s this gorgeous hand-painted saffron and lilac colorway. I tried varieties of stitches out and this yarn falls flat with anything basic. The Branching Out scarf from Knitty 2005 was the winner. It’s a lovely lace pattern that’s easy to work with and gratifying as you go. It’s dense enough to show off the yarn, yet open enough to flatter the pattern. Everyone wins! I can’t wait to block it and see the finished result. Only 22 repeats to go…
