Two Pointy Sticks: Silk and Hope :)

I'm not feeling very eloquent this evening, so I might just let the pictures do the talking... And tonight is all about SILK! Over the weekend I managed to squeeze in a couple of test runs in the new silk which is slightly heavier than the Tussah, and the results are in:

Byzantine in the new silk:

Gamla Stan (which has now become a favourite in the household):

And a hitherto unnamed colourway that reminds me of pale wildflowers in tall grass...

(I am definitely making something out of this in the near future -- it's just too elegant and beckoningly soft not to! And with the weather turning freakishly warm these days, I'll probably be in the mood to start a spring/summer knit.)

ETA: In response to Kirsten's comment: this silk knits at 6 stitches per inch x 7 rows per inch on US 6 needles.) I don't have prices listed yet, but when the first silk shipment arrives, I'll launch it here at Two Pointy Sticks -- so watch this space!
And here I've saved the best for last: this is Hope -- one of the most experienced and most prolific knitters I've ever met. But what else would you expect from someone who has been knitting since the age of five? :) Here she is in the stunning short row scarf that she knit over the weekend in Alchemy Synchronicity, which is a sumptuously soft silk and wool blend.
