Knitting with silk

Knitting with silk

Snowing again. If Ottawa does indeed have Four Distinct Seasons as people keep telling me (sounds like a Tarantino-Merchant-Ivory collaboration) then this is distinctly winter. Which I'm totally fine with. But let's call a flake a flake.

People are funny about their own weather. I was living in Vancouver when David Duchovny infamously complained about filming the X-Files there because of the rain, and Vancouverites were frothing at the mouth with indignation. But it does rain a lot in Vancouver. Anyways, I digress.

I wanted to take some new pictures today, but I'm not really sure where my camera bag is. Probably hiding behind a tinkly box labelled "miscellaneous fragile - this end UP". And I think the tripod is packed with all the other awkward, long objects: skis, a bow, a tripod, a bolt of fabric.

So here's another lovely bit of yarn; a newish one from Sweatermaker Yarns, called Mackenzie. 100% silk, light fingering weight, very dense. Judy and I counted the number of plies, I think it's 8.
