And The Winner Is…..
Mystery Stole 3
Clue 1
KnitPicks Alpaca Cloud, Midnight
Size 4,
Unknown bead color - from
I originally thought that this one was too loose, “too lacy” to properly see the design. When I was making that decision, I was about where the lifeline is…. and I guess I didn’t realize that I was so low in the diagram that there wasn’t much that was supposed to be solid at that point. So, I wasted some time working on clue 1 on the 3’s…. but I’m ultimately happy with these results and have continued to knit on to clue 2 with the #4’s. (Only 8 rows in, not enough to warrant another photo….)
You can’t see the beads too well, so here’s another shot:
Ooops. My monitor (as I’m writing this) doesn’t show them yet. How about this?
There! You can see them at last. They are “scattered” thoughout the stole, as well as at regular intervals along the border. I wanted something to compliment the knitting, not overpower it — now I’m not entirely sure that they’re noticeable enough. <Sigh>
Anyway, I’ve been having fun, despite that I’m 3 clues behind and have a bunch of other stuff to knit. Back to clue 2~
