I have the chartpack on preorder without the silks. The chart itself will be expensive enough. I would love to do this is silk but I hate the 100/3 silks Nan
has been using on her charts. 100/3 doesn't look any different from cotton floss to me and is more difficult to work with 2 strands. I just hope there is a
DMC conversion so that I can convert it to silks of my own choosing.

LOL When I was taking another look at sirens, I took another look at PinKeepers Garden. I added that to the pre-order list.
It's hopeless. |

I'm officially in now. I gave the order to my LNS on Thursday.......along with one for the Rose Pocket (it came out the same time and an LHN pattern fits
on it). There goes my budget for the month!!!

Just had a look and ouch indeed
What makes the Azure Gilt Sylke Twist worth it? I would be tempted to have that "finished" feel to the design, but ouch ouch ouch! |

http://needlestack.typepad.com/whats_new/2008/03/gilt-sylke-twis.html Here's some info about it, showing a close up pic and describing it, and also including some use instructions. It's actually got gold plated wire in it, which accounts for the cost. It's up to you whether you feel it's worth it...you could certainly use BF or Kreinik braid to get a shimmery effect in place of it. I have it in the Dragonfly silk kit and it's so beautiful...definitely worth it to me and you get a lot so you can use it on other projects.

I was very tempted but have now decided it is just a bit too 'blue' for my taste, even though that thread is very tempting. And having signed up for
the Chatelaine Fairy Garden, I want to save my pennies for that kit!

Yeah it's really expensive! I don't think I'll be stitching this in silks unless I see a WIP pic which persuades me otherwise. Such a pity!

HOLY YOU KNOW WHAT!!!!! Well, I guess I shouldn't be too suprised by the cost. My silks for Shores of Hawk Run Hollow were more expensive than that.
Hmmmm.........my 1st anniv. is in less than one week. I could always ask DH for a gift card to the LNS.
Well, come to think of it, I think I deserve to get myself a gift for staying married for one year!
