OSW-the Second.
This is a late post, but I wanted to get it up here. Here is the second One Skein Wonder by Glampyre that I completed.
Stats: One Skein Wonder, Glampyre Knits
Yarn: Mango Moon Sari Silk, Mango Moon nylon (held with the silk) and Louisa Alcott Silk/Wool blend for the sleeve cuff and neck band
Needles: Denise, size called for in pattern
Mods: I doubled up the Sari silk and the nylon to give the body more give and more memory, based on a suggestion by the owner of Sweet Celeste's in Mt. Clemens. I ran out of Sari silk before the cuff so I picked up the silk/wool blend in a coordinating color and did seed stitch for the cuff and neck band with a sewn bind off. It's much more comfy than the first one I made, since the seed stitch/sewn bind off doesn't bind along my neck.
Love the results! The Sari Silk? Not so much. I don't think it's a fiber I will work with again. I have yet to wash it, and I have been warned to be very careful with that. Wish me luck!
