Hint 3 Finished!

I finished hint 3 of the Secret of the Stole KAL. This is turning into a lovely piece of lace fabric. Knitting hint 3 was much more fun and went much faster now that I am using my new Addi Lace needles.
I also took a little tutorial from Nautical Knitter’s blog on how to take pictures of your knitting. So once I figured out how to turn off the flash on my digital camera — I got a really nice picture of the stole that shows the beads! Cool! If you are interested in this tutorial go to http://www.nauticalknitter.com/.
Pictures of the stole through Hint 3 are below. I need to go start knitting on Hint 4 — it came out this morning and I’m itching to get started….

  1. Lindy,

    That is a great photo of the beaded section. It is so hard to get a good photo of beads in knitting. Your stole looks wonderful. Hint #4 is a breeze so you will be finished in no time!

  2. Thanks, DK. I’m getting better with the pictures as I experiment. Appreciate the helpful hints.

    Lindy

I finished the stole on Monday evening. I blocked it Tuesday evening, but did not have a chance to take photos until this morning. The finished fabric is very light and airy and I am very proud of my first laceweight knit stole. The stole measures 18 inches wide by 74 inches long. It is just the right size to wrap around one’s shoulders.
Many thanks to DK, the Nautical Knitter for the wonderful design and the KAL. I have greatly enjoyed participating in this project and I learned a great deal.

Here’s a close-up of the last section of this stole:
This section of the design is quite elaborate and complex — lots of yarn overs and decreases.

I just learned that you get much better pictures of your knitting if you use daylight rather than artificial lighting at night.

Here are two pictures of my Secret of the Stole KAL through hint 4. You can see the beads and the lovely lace patterning that is beginning to emerge.

Now to wait until this coming Friday for the next hint…..
