This is the second time making Wisp. The first time I made it using Rowan Kid Silk Haze like the pattern called for. Then I started seeing Wisp being made in all sorts of yarn. Like this one and this one. So when my cowl didn't work, I decided to take a shot at using my cashmere yarn on Wisp. I'm so glad I did! It is probably the softest item that I have ever made. The scarf looks totally different than my first Wisp. The stitch definition is much more defined. I have to knit carefully because the yarn is so delicate that I'm afraid that I will rip the yarn when knitting two stitches together (I've already did this once). I'm addicted and I can't wait to finish..so I'm off!

beautiful jane.
can't wait for you to model it.
okay...this is gorgeous...how about I send you some Haze and you make me one :)!
I don't know how I missed this pattern on Knitty the first time round. Maybe because I got cranky with them and their slow server on opening day and forgot to come back? Anyway - what a cool pattern, and I LOVE, LOVE yours - both!
That is looking so beautiful!
Wow! First of all purple is my absolute favorite. And second of all, any reference to his purple highness makes me smile.
This is beautiful Jane!
