I'm not usually one to join knit alongs (I tried and failed at an Elizabeth Zimmermann one) but I couldn't resist this one. I've never knit a stole before. I've made lacy things, like baby sweaters and such, so I am not finding this too difficult. I like to try new things, at least in knitting, so it seemed like a natural thing to do. There are over 6500 people currently signed up to do this mystery stole knit along. It's been interesting to see every one's different interpretations and to hear the guesses on the theme. But alas, it is a mystery so we won't know for sure until the last clue.
This is a closer look. I like how it's coming out. I am using a fingering weight yarn as opposed to lace weight. I like a denser fabric, this one will be warm that's for sure!
I pinned it out onto a piece of cardboard, the only thing I have handy. And I used my sewing pins, which seemed to work well.

oooooo I like the color. It's going to look awesome. I'm doing a second stole in a fingering weight black alpaca. I can't post pictures of it though because I'm making it for a friend that reads my blog. hehe She is always drooling over my knitting and I want to suprise her. Her sister had even suggested paying me to make her one. hehe Always fun to be one step ahead. :O)
