I finished hint 5 of the SoSii stole this morning. What a beautiful pattern this is turning out to be! Just love the design and the way the stole drapes.

I have slowed down on my knitting due to too many things to do and not enough time to knit. So while hint 7 was posted this morning, I will be starting hint 6 sometime later tonight (I hope…)

As our son’s wedding draws closer, I find that I have more things to do related to the wedding and less time to just sit and knit. But, I need to stay with this project as it is intended to be a gift for the bride to wear on her wedding day.

Lindy,
Your stole is turning out just beautiful! The bride will be so proud. Take your time and create that gorgeous lacy keepsake for her in your time frame. By the way, our son is also tying the knot this August. Need to make something for the bride to be as well….

Hint 4 Completed This MorningHint 4 Completed This Morning

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!

Finished hint 9 on 3/28/08 – just a week ahead of my son’s wedding. Didn’t have time to post pictures until now – busy with all the wedding activities. The bride loved the stole and she looked lovely wearing it with her wedding gown.

We don’t have pictures from the wedding yet, but here are a couple of pictures of the hint 9 and the completed stole.

The completed stole was very soft and draped beautifully.

Now working on finishing up the other shawl I have on needles – this one is for my daughter. It’s the Candle Flame shawl pattern from Knit Picks in light teal Zephyr yarn.

I finished hint 6 last Thursday but haven’t had time to post the pictures.

The stole is now two-thirds completed and is about 40 inches long.

The pattern continues with the lovely motifs that are repeating as we knit.

I have hint 7 nearly completed and I hope to finish it this evening.
I will post Friday.

Since hints 8 & 9 are now out, it’s clear that I am behind and will not
complete this KAL on the timeframe. I should, however, have it done and blocked in time to give it to the bride for her wedding day.
