A few days ago, I told you about my new sari silk yarn. I was so ready to get started on making a scarf for the fall (what else would I do on a day when it was 106 F, right) After attempting to knit this fiber, I knew it wasn't going to work for me. I wanted something fairly loose so that the loveliness of these two silks were really shown off. I saw a photo of on scarf that was "drop stitched" and it looked amazing, but I had no idea how to do that.
I decided to just use my largest crochet hook and crocheted both types of silk together at one. This made it thick, and loose, and lovely.

It's so beautiful!! I love it! That makes me wish I had picked up some when I was Iowa. The yarn shop there had some beautiful sari silk. I will have to have my mom pick some up for me before she comes to visit. Great job Janel! :)
