And try knitting them on circular needles. It makes a world of difference.
THat silk is impossible to knit on straight doupble pointed needles. THey make
circular needles in american 000 and 0. Using two circular needles to knit
one stocking or even two at a time is a technique suggested to me by a knitting
group that I sometimes go to. Right now my silk and wool stocking experiment
is on hold because the circular 000 I have is too large for the diameter of the
stocking right now. I need another needle, but several projects and the
holidays have interferred.
And someone does make silk knit and sell it on the web, its jersey I think.
I will have to look for my bookmark. G Street in MD/VA might even have some
yardage, but it's been years since I've been there
Making a pair of silk 18c stockings is on my list.
