Didn’t get any pictures posted last week due to Thanksgiving. I finished hint 7 late Friday night. You can see the beginning of the point.

I finished the stole on Monday evening. I blocked it Tuesday evening, but did not have a chance to take photos until this morning. The finished fabric is very light and airy and I am very proud of my first laceweight knit stole. The stole measures 18 inches wide by 74 inches long. It is just the right size to wrap around one’s shoulders.
Many thanks to DK, the Nautical Knitter for the wonderful design and the KAL. I have greatly enjoyed participating in this project and I learned a great deal.
Here’s a close-up of the last section of this stole:This section of the design is quite elaborate and complex — lots of yarn overs and decreases.

Finished hint 6 a little behind schedule. This was a busy week with lots of activities and I didn’t have as much time to knit as I have the last 5 weeks. So — I stayed up later last night to finish the last few rows. Then I started making mistakes and decided to get up early this morning to finish rather than keep messing things up due to fatigue.
Got up at 5:00 AM and tinked back about half a row on the last pattern row. I think I fixed the problem — but I may have added my own personal “design element” in doing so.
The stole is turning out beautifully. Since it now too long to get a good picture of — I am now just taking shots of the newest section.
Here’s the latest picture:
