It's Done!
Secret of the Stole is finished!
It was a little hard to photograph it as there was a constant breeze that kept blowing it around but I think you get the idea. The yarn was a dream to work with and blocked out really well. The color is hard to capture but it is really beautiful. I used the Funky Carolina Lace in the color Carolina. I used size 4 needles with it which worked out well, lacy but not to holey.
It could be yours if we get to that $500 mark We are there! If you don't already know about it take a look at the other prizes and rules here.
I started swatching for Laminaria from Knitty as I was really unsure about those 2 into 9 and 3 into 9 stitches. They turned out to be not hard to work at all so I think this will be my next project along with Zephyros. I know others have totally lost the love on this pattern as it has had quite a few mistakes in it but I think I am going to push on as I have nothing to rip back due to the mistakes. Hopefully they have all been corrected now.
This is the yarn I plan to use on Laminaria.
It is from the Yarn Chef and I love the color.

Your stole is beautiful. I can hardly wait to open our pool and get it as sparkling clean as yours. Right now mine looks like pea soup.
