Date Started: 8/29/06

Comments: This is the softest, most luxurious yarn I've ever seen. When I picked up a skein in the yarn store, everything else felt like straw in comparison. So I decided I had to have a skein and I had to wear it next to some very sensitive skin. So wristers seemed like the best solution. I had a leaflet for SWTC Karaoke fingerless gloves and this yarn is the same gauge and almost the same yardage as Karaoke, so pattern and yarn were perfectly matched. On the first one I forgot to keep the two stitches on either side of the middle cables in purl. I noticed when I was almost finished with it and I was about to rip the whole thing up, but I remembered I could just ladder down and pick it back up in purl, which I did. I think it looks just like I knit it that way. These are very, very soft and very warm.
