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 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.

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….
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.
