Secret of the Stole II KAL

If you’ve never done a Knit A Long — give it a try! My first was the Secret of the Stole — and I really enjoyed it. (See my earlier posts.) DK does a wonderful job with the designs and moderating the KAL. If you are interested in trying knitting lace and want a project with lots of support and encouragement, I’d recommend joining the Secret of the Stole II KAL.

The Secret of the Stole II Knit A Long begins January 18, 2008. The KAL is still open for those who are interested but have not yet joined. For further information or to join the group go to:

Good knitting! Lindy

Finished hint 2 in the Superfine Merino yarn on Saturday. Good way to finish up Ground Hog’s Day.

The merino is not as soft as the cashmere, but it does knit up well and shows the lace pattern stitch definition.

I finished hint 7 on 3/13/08, but had no time to post pictures.
You can see the length of the stole and the arch on the right edge.
This is a truly beautiful lace pattern and the cashmere yarn makes
it very special.

Close up view of hint 7 — I just love this pattern!

Finished up hint 8 on Easter Sunday evening (3/23/08) and took pictures this morning. Close up shot shows the continuation of the “squares”.

This picture shows the length of the stole and its lovely drape.
Hint 9 came out a week ago, so I did not complete this KAL before the theme and name were revealed. Meet the lovely “Savannah”.

On to knit hint 9 — I hope to finish this week — the wedding is two weeks from last Saturday, but I should have enough time to finish knitting and block the stole.

Happy Leap Day! Hint 5 now done.Happy Leap Day! Hint 5 now done.

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.
