Here’s a picture of just the Hint 5 section of the Secret of the Stole.
This picture really shows the detail of the pattern and you can also see the two beads that are at the top portion of the section. Isn’t lovely?
Secret of the Stole – Hint 5 Now DoneSecret of the Stole – Hint 5 Now Done
Finished hint 5 of the Secret of the Stole this morning. It is now 42 inches long, and would probably be even longer if stretched it when blocking.
This picture doesn’t show the detail as well as I would like, so I may try to take another shot of the stole tomorrow morning — maybe a close up of just the hint 5 section…
This stole is turning out to be very lightweight, but very warm and I love the ever changing pattern. Hint 6 is released tomorrow!

I just learned that you get much better pictures of your knitting if you use daylight rather than artificial lighting at night.Here are two pictures of my Secret of the Stole KAL through hint 4. You can see the beads and the lovely lace patterning that is beginning to emerge.
Now to wait until this coming Friday for the next hint…..
Hint 4 Is DoneHint 4 Is Done
Finished hint 4 this evening. This section went fairly quickly. It was a repetitive series of staggered yarnovers. I’ll try to take a picture in the morning — the daylight pictures show the details much clearer.
The Nautical Knitter gave us instructions on how to shorten or lengthen the stole in this hint. When you finish this hint, you are halfway done. My stole now measures approximately 17.5 inches by 32 inches. It would be a little longer if it was stretched and blocked, so I decided to stay with this length.
