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.

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

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.
