Secret of the Stole KAL

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…..

Here’s a picture of just the Hint 5 section of the Secret of the Stole.

This picture really shows the detail of the pattern and you can also see the two beads that are at the top portion of the section. Isn’t lovely?

Finished hint 4 this evening. This section went fairly quickly. It was a repetitive series of staggered yarnovers. I’ll try to take a picture in the morning — the daylight pictures show the details much clearer.

The Nautical Knitter gave us instructions on how to shorten or lengthen the stole in this hint. When you finish this hint, you are halfway done. My stole now measures approximately 17.5 inches by 32 inches. It would be a little longer if it was stretched and blocked, so I decided to stay with this length.

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.
