Well with my wrist still in a splint I've been rather limited in what I can do. That silk sample has also been tempting me to do something with it. With only 50m or so to play with, and a temporary inability to knit, I decided to create a very slim wrist distaff using a weaving method I used as a kid to make bracelets. I think it is actually a Japanese technique but the version I know involves a cardboard disk with a hole in the centre, and slots around the edge. By moving the threads from slot to slot across each other you gradually weave them together.
Anyway, with the main cord complete, I bought a load of beads etc for the weighted end, and have a three hour train journey in which to attach them all this evening! Photos as ever to follow.
