Secret of the Stole KAL

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.

It’s beautiful! I love the light color with the sparkle of the beads. Makes me wish I had done my stole in a light color instead of the drk purple I picked. Oh well…guess that just means I’ll have to do another one 🙂 Good Job!

Hint 7 Completed 11/23/07Hint 7 Completed 11/23/07

Didn’t get any pictures posted last week due to Thanksgiving. I finished hint 7 late Friday night. You can see the beginning of the point.

Secret of the Stole – Hint 6 finishedSecret of the Stole – Hint 6 finished

Finished hint 6 a little behind schedule. This was a busy week with lots of activities and I didn’t have as much time to knit as I have the last 5 weeks. So — I stayed up later last night to finish the last few rows. Then I started making mistakes and decided to get up early this morning to finish rather than keep messing things up due to fatigue.

Got up at 5:00 AM and tinked back about half a row on the last pattern row. I think I fixed the problem — but I may have added my own personal “design element” in doing so.

The stole is turning out beautifully. Since it now too long to get a good picture of — I am now just taking shots of the newest section.

Here’s the latest picture:

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…..
