WOW

There are over 6000 people registered for the mystery stole 3 knitalong!!

It's looking good, but I still haven't managed to work out the theme. I think the next clue will show more details - then we may be able to work out the subject.

I am using Posh Yarns Cecilia which was a gift in a Secret Santa Swap. I think the colour is "ballerina"

It's on 3mm needles, which gives a lovely drape. It may not be as wide as it should be, but I like the look and the drape of the knitted fabric.
I am using clear beads, as it is such a difficult colour to find beads to match or tone.

I am also making the same stole in Black Lana Borgesesia yarn, but without beads, and on larger needles, 3.5mm, to see the difference. I am going to knit clue 2, then decide if the fabric is too open, or if it will block to a light and airy stole.

I am having a break from this, and have returned to the never-ending shoalwater - I am on the final stretch now - just the last 50 rows, but there are almost 400 stitches already. It's quite time-consuming, but very easy to do in front of the TV, or even having a conversation.

This is Kidsilk Spray in "Medici" colourway.

It's very satisfying being SO close to the end, but I desperately want to finish it, it matches one of my summer skirts perfectly.
