Finished hint 2 in the Superfine Merino yarn on Saturday. Good way to finish up Ground Hog’s Day.
The merino is not as soft as the cashmere, but it does knit up well and shows the lace pattern stitch definition.

I finished hint 7 on 3/13/08, but had no time to post pictures.
You can see the length of the stole and the arch on the right edge.
This is a truly beautiful lace pattern and the cashmere yarn makes
it very special.
Close up view of hint 7 — I just love this pattern!
Finished up hint 8 on Easter Sunday evening (3/23/08) and took pictures this morning. Close up shot shows the continuation of the “squares”.
This picture shows the length of the stole and its lovely drape.
Hint 9 came out a week ago, so I did not complete this KAL before the theme and name were revealed. Meet the lovely “Savannah”.
On to knit hint 9 — I hope to finish this week — the wedding is two weeks from last Saturday, but I should have enough time to finish knitting and block the stole.

I finished hint 6 last Thursday but haven’t had time to post the pictures. The stole is now two-thirds completed and is about 40 inches long.
The pattern continues with the lovely motifs that are repeating as we knit.
I have hint 7 nearly completed and I hope to finish it this evening.
I will post Friday.
Since hints 8 & 9 are now out, it’s clear that I am behind and will not
complete this KAL on the timeframe. I should, however, have it done and blocked in time to give it to the bride for her wedding day.
Secret of the Stole II SwatchesSecret of the Stole II Swatches
Happy New Year!
I have finished two swatches for the Secret of the Stole II KAL — which begins January 18.
I am trying to decide which yarn to use for this KAL. I may be giving this stole to my future DIL for her wedding in April. Both yarns are lovely and knit up well in the swatches.
The first yarn is Sarah’s Yarns 100% Monogolian cashmere 2 ply. It has a really soft feel to it and I’m sure it would be warm. The color is natural white.
The second yarn is JaggerSpun Superfine merino wool 2/18. It is not as soft and is less fuzzy than the cashmere. The color is vanilla, so it is a bit darker in color as well. It appears to be a little lacy-er than the cashmere in the swatch.
Opinions anyone?
