Spin A Yarn for Ewe

So I finished the first half of the lace stole and I decided to block it to see what it would look like. I know that I will have to block it all over again but I think it was worth it to get an idea of the over all size and look. It should be about 72" long and of course I forgot to measure the width but about 16" or so. Thanks Gina for the "test knitter" offer but I would have to figure out how to do the charts first since the ones I am working off of are hand written. I know I could do them in Excel but for me it is so labor intensive it is not really worth it. If I ever get serious about designing I will for sure invest in a program for it, Knit Visualizer is very cool.







Here is a close up of the beaded bind off which I like very much. I just put a bead every other stitch and it adds a little sparkle and some weight.


I finally got the old wheel out and am happily spinning my nights away again. I hope to have some laceweight singles done in the next day or 2.

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I might be back before then but just in case.
