oooooh, shiny ~

I haven't cast on anything metallic since the fun fur scarf days. I must say that casting on shiny metallic yarn is rather enjoyable, especially without the fun fur part! One can really see the yarn without the fur. So, I have cast on my Mum's Clapotis scarf.

I'm using size 5 needles as the yarn calls for 5s or 6s, and I want a tighter knit so the dropped stitches of the Clapotis are held with firm bookend stitches. So far, so good, and not slippery stitches yet. I'll keep you posted....
