Secret of the Stole – Hint 5 Now DoneSecret of the Stole – Hint 5 Now Done

Finished hint 5 of the Secret of the Stole this morning. It is now 42 inches long, and would probably be even longer if stretched it when blocking.

This picture doesn’t show the detail as well as I would like, so I may try to take another shot of the stole tomorrow morning — maybe a close up of just the hint 5 section…

This stole is turning out to be very lightweight, but very warm and I love the ever changing pattern. Hint 6 is released tomorrow!

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…..

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 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….
