Having Fun
This Mystery Stole 3 thing is SO MUCH FUN! I am having a great time working on it. Clue 1 was posted last Friday and I finished it yesterday afternoon. I would of been done sooner but since it has beads in it working on it in the car is a little harder so I made it an at home project. The yarn is perfect with very subtle shading and the mix of beads works well with it.

I can not wait for clue 2. If you aren't doing this yet you have until Friday to sign up!
I am also almost done with baby sock 2 and I even did the stitch moving around thing with the magic loop without consulting the book. I think I finally get how to do socks this way but I am glad they are just baby socks or they would never get done. Yes, you heard me, I don't like knitting socks. I know, I know I should like knitting them but I don't and living in San Diego makes wearing wool socks something that never happens.
So since I have now confessed my deepest knitting sin, does anyone want to trade 2 skeins of Koigu for some lace yarn? (You can click on the picture for a larger shot and the color is maybe slightly off but they are more blue green then any other photo I have seen online.)

I have had these 2 skeins for a while now and even though I want to make myself knit them into socks I just can't and I haven't been able to find anything else I want to make with them. So if you have some lace weight yarn, in a subtle hand paint or solid, very soft and at least 880 yards email me.
Hope everyone has a great 4th. We are going to a small community parade and fireworks at the high school later. Should be a fun night.

Your shawl is coming out fantastic! And I love the way your handdyed yarn looks in this...wow! I'll definitely be doing the Mystery Shawl next time!
Great Koigu, too! Let me check my laceweight stash and see what I have. I know I have a lot of weird a** colorways in lace (since I am so wacky), but I'll check if I have some semisolids or solids I won't be using.
You're such a lace inspiration!

How about some zephyr wool/silk in your choice of colors? I have some ready for the dye pot! And the Koigu looks to be a great color for my hubby.
I love your stole -- I'm not quite there yet, but I am using my own handspun alpaca (yay!).
