Shape

Holly asked about the shape of the MS3. It really is different but maybe this drawing will help. I know everyone will get it when it is done but I refuse to block it now as I am lazy that way. Plus I only have one more clue to knit.

Basically the first "half" was actually longer then half. It was actually 60% of the finished total. Then you knit the curved section with short rows and p2tog on the WS rows to attach it. It should wear pretty much like a rectangular stole just with 2 different shaped ends. Some people actually lengthened the rectangular first part to make sure it was long enough. I live dangerously and went with the standard version as it should block out to be at least the 77" if not longer and I have a stole at 72" that I like so I figured I was safe. Hopefully that makes sense and if not look for blocking pictures as well as modeled pictures next week. I want this baby done!
