Secret of the Stole

I finally got some fairly descent pictures of this stole. It is SOOOO long it is really hard to photograph but I did my best.

Secret of The Stole

Here is me struggling to get a shot of the whole thing. It was useless and I gave up after many failed attempts.

Here is the "artsy" shot which I love because it really shows of the colors in the yarn which is just beautiful.
Secret of The Stole 3

Pattern: Secret of the Stole
Yarn: Zephyr custom dyed by Heather at Sereknity in Pebbles in the Sand (She doesn't have any up but maybe if you asked nice she would do some for you! It is so worth asking because the colors she does are amazing.)
Needles: Knit Picks Options in size 4
Beads: I used some I had laying around that matched the yarn perfectly and add just a touch of sparkle
Size: 90" x 17" I probably could of blocked it wider and not as long but I like wearing it better this way.

This was a fun "secret" project. I was able to keep up, key for me, and the pattern was not overly crazy which I liked and the final project is something totally wearable.

Another gorgeous piece of work! I really like the long length. It seems very versatile. The subtle color variations in the yarn are perfect with that pattern. Beautiful!

Your stole is just gorgeous, I really like the color.

I'm almost done with mine, this is my first lace project and I'm trying to find out how to block it, which is all new to me !
