Finished!
With 3 days to spare. And despite The Boi tripping over the stole while it was on blocking pins and knocking it apart (how you can miss a giant lace stole on the ground I dont know).
The Knittery’s Silk/Merino 2ply is a joy to knit with. It blocks up to such a nice, airy finish. (The colour is more green/brown/purple in real life).
The pattern was better to work with once I’d finished about 1/4 of it – before then it was pretty confusing but I love the result and am tempted to make it again. (Magnetic place boards are a life saver).
I’m really, really happy with this stole – it’s literally the longest and hardest thing i’ve ever made. If someone told me 3 years ago i’d knit something like this, i’d not believe it – and i’m doubly glad that I made it for my sister, who’s worth the effort.
Here’s some pics!
