Secret of the Stole II: Hint 3

Finished Hint 3 in the cashmere yarn on 2/7/08. It’s turning out to be an intriguing pattern. Diamonds, rosettes and slanting lines.

Pinned flat the piece is at least 24 inches wide. So it will be wider still when wet blocked. It’s also about 30 inches long, so it appears that the finished length will be longer than the estimated 60 inches DK gave at the start of this KAL.

I have decided to put the superfine merino yarn on hold for now. I’m finding that I don’t have as much time to knit as I thought I would.

Started hint 4 yesterday — and there was an interesting change in the pattern — we started adding additional stitches along the right side. Is this going to be a triangle? Hmmm….

I finished knitting hint 4 of the Secret of the Stole II this morning. You can see the close-up of the hint in this picture.

Pattern is absolutely lovely and is knitting up beautifully in the 100 % Monogolian Cashmere yarn. I can’t tell for certain at this point whether the right edge will continue growing at an angle or will begin to form a curved edge on the next hint.

This picture shows the entire length of the stole as knitted to this point. Very lovely and soft — and perfect for a bride!

I finished knitting hint 2 in the cashmere yarn last evening. Waited until this morning to take pics. The cashmere version is knitting up very nicely. It’s very soft and drapes well. I think it shows the stitch definition nicely as well.

This is a lovely pattern so far — it is developing into an intriguing design. Hint 2 took longer to knit this week. This was in part because I was busy with family things most of the weekend and really didn’t get down to knitting until Sunday.
Started working the hint up in the superfine merino — but only got about 10 rows done last night and haven’t started knitting yet this evening. Hint 3 arrives tomorrow — so I’m going to be behind on version 2.
