Pattern:
"Rippling Waters" scarf, from Fiddlesticks Knitting
Yarn: Filatura di Crosa Superior (#27, grey) -- silk and
cashmere blend Method: Knitting Completed: June 14,
2009.
I called this the "mouse" project, because the yarn is so, so soft and
fluffy. Why, yes, I do know what a mouse feels like, but let's
not discuss that now. The yarn is so very light -- the entire
scarf weighs about an ounce.
For those who are keeping track, this is the second time I've knit the
Rippling Waters scarf -- having done it in a heavier
gauge project, as a stole.
Finished measurements (post-blocking): 49" x 11 1/2"
The scarf showing off the
edging and the body patterns. Note the remainder yarn -- looks
like it's more than a little bit, but it weighs in at less than 1g (of
25).

extreme closeup, you can see the cashmere and silk as separate elements
of the spun yarn (the silk offers the shine, while the cashmere brings
the fluffiness).
