Secret of the Stole, Estes Park

Last August, I participated in the Secret of the Stole mystery KAL.

Last October I finished all of the knitting on the project.

Well, I've finially completed all of the finishing details. The stole is now blocked with the ends woven in. (And repaired because I had dropped a stitch.)
So I give you: Estes Park, the stole.



I know it is difficult to tell in the picture, but this is one l-o-n-g stole! It is approx. 70" long by about 20" wide, beaded, and just lovely. I can't wait to do the next one, but I don't think I'll wait as long to do the finishing details next time. At least, I hope I won't.

I've finished hint 1. The instructions have been perfect so far, and the pattern is a delight to knit. Is it Friday yet?

A Fine Beginning

Because one stole mystery is never enough, I've joined two. The swatch for the Secret of the Stole III is coming along beautifully.


The needles are from Knit Picks, the yarn is Grignasco MerinoSilk and the beads are Blue Moon Beads.



The swatch is now done, and the real fun has begun. I have cast on clue 1, and am loving this design.
