Once again, when I started knitting the weekly installment of the Mystery Stole 3, I could not stop until there was I there was nothing left to knit. So here we have the stole finished up to the second clue.
The reason it might be knitting up so fast could be because the beading makes it so fun. All I want to do is zip along till I get to a row where I can insert the sparkly beads. Beautiful, shiny beads.
I feel that it bears repeating that the charts Melanie provides are extraordinarily easy to follow. There’s no squinting involved with the original size of the charts, which means you can use them straight off the printer. Also, if you weren’t able to join before the group closed to new members, the pattern will be available to all come September or October.
It’s back to the Forest Path Stole for me now. I’m about to start Tier 13, so I am making some progress. It’s becoming less of a chore now as I’m starting to build a rhythm.
Quincy has also bee having a bit of fiber fun. The other morning I woke up to this on the floor of my kitchen.
Luckily this is just leftover yarn. If it had been for an ongoing project or even worse, if this had been a project on the needles, then I would be probably be in the hospital due to a massive coronary. As it was, I was pretty aghast at the sight of such beautiful yarn strewn about with such blatant disregard.
Did I mention that this yarn was safely hidden in the bottom of one of my baskets? And that I have acrylic yarn in plain view for his playing pleasure if he so desires? But no, this boy is a yarn snob. He went hunting for the Socks That Rock.
Of course I chastised him by holding the yarn up to him and repeating “bad boy” etc. etc. This is the look he gave me. You can decide for yourselves as to whether or not he was properly repentant.
