I finished this garment I'm calling Silky Swing.  It's a swing coat sort of design.  I used Elsebeth Lavold's Silky Wool.  It is a beautiful yarn.  A tiny cable pattern gives this a wonderful texture.  The pattern is "Swing Jacket with Leaf Border" from Classic Elite Yarns #830, sweaters knit for Devon Silk/Wool Tweed (a yarn that no longer exists, I'm told). 

The sweater still needs some sort of closure on the top.  I'm considering a Nikki Epstein-style I-cord frog closure, though I'm also thinking about a metal frog.  It's blocking now and has that mmmmm-raw-silk smell.   
Something else that smells like silk:

This ball of wool-silk-cashmere.  It was saved from the landfill by a good friend who offered (unbidden) to clean it for me.  I cannot mention the CATastrophe (hint, hint) that befell this yarn.  I thought it was lost forever.  I was telling this friend about the reason for my tragic sadness, told her the whole sad story, and she told me she could get the smell out.  I didn't believe her, but she was keen to help.  I delivered the yarn double-bagged to her the next day.  
A triple-dip and dry at her house, and the yarn smells good as new.  It has that silk smell again, and not at all like cat . . .  

For the past few years this yarn has been waiting in my stash to be knit up into an Orenburg Lace shawl.  Recent events have convinced me that I must make the shawl.  No more excuses.  It will be a year of shawls for me.
