It's really addicting. The colors, the textures... I think I might have to knit that next scarf out of it, too. Oh, my poor, poor student loans... The only problem with Jade Sapphire?

I'm using (ooh, splurge) Jade Sapphire SIlk/Cashmere (55% silk, 45% cashmere). The colors here are Mangrove (colorway #119) and Critical Moss (colorway #108), held together and knitted on #7s (I think #8s might be more appropriate for a tight knitter like me, but it's knitting into such a cushy warm fabric that I'm okay with it, and it should block out a bit). I should actually add the projects I'm actually working on to Ravelry! It should be easier now that I found my ball bands... I also am really enjoying knitting men's scarves, so I might make another one for David, afterwards. (I'll probably go for <a href="http://brooklyntweed.blogspot.com/2009/12/story-of-honeycomb.html" rel="nofollow">this honeycomb scarf</a>, since I worship the hell out of Jared Flood's knitting and I already bought the book.)
