Starting my second BO

Today I bought 100g of Lana Grossa's "Silana" in light green. It's a merino-silk blend, and probably the softest yarn I've worked with yet. It feels really nice, but unfortunately it's also spun a little loosely, which makes it easy to split the yarn with the needle if I'm not careful.

This is my second Branching Out, and it's going to be a christmas present for my mother-in-law, which leaves me with nine days of knitting time. But she does not expect a present from me, so if I don't get it done in time, I'll just turn it into a birthday present next year. :-)
