Feeling Honoured.

That is exactly how I feel at the moment. :D I was asked recently if I would test knit a new yarn for a lovely lady called Juliet who runs Artists Palette Yarns.
The yarn in question is a laceweight pure silk called 'Glisten' and here a few piccies to prove (hopefully) that it really does take after it's name.

As is only to be expected, I have cast on for a scarf. There were 2 patterns which were chosen 'Elm Row' from Knitspot and 'Fiddlehead' also from Knitspot.
Immediately the colour of the yarn sang 'leaves' so I cast on......Fiddlehead!
Why??? I hear you ask. Well it's because of these recent FO's

I think the second pic is nearer the actual colour. I do have 2 skeins (aren't I lucky) and I will knit up the other pattern too but I needed another pattern to break up the monotony of me liking certain stitch patterns too much lol.

Gosh February already too...
