Malabrigo Lace and Mohair on Sublime Cashmere Merino Silk
Whoa, that's a mouthful. The first couple of rows are with 2mm needles (bamboo) and then I switched to 3mm needles (much faster) and then mohair, then held the mohair with the malabrigo lace, and then switched to the malabrigo lace in pink while still holding the mohair. Very fine, very soft, very fuzzy. Against the DK weight Sublime Baby Cashmere Merino Silk DK, which looks huge and portly by comparison (not the case). I also discovered that an After Eight 300g box fits my 18cm DPNs wonderfully. (Most of my DPNs are 18cm, but some newly inherited ones are 23cm, and don't fit).
Strangely, the mm size of the needle corresponds almost exactly to the mm size of the stitch. D'oh. How nice of my brain to start recognizing things. *sigh*
