River Stole

Can I say great pattern? Easy to execute and looks great after blocking.

..River Stole..

Photographing this stole was a lot harder than I thought. The stole is approx 6 feet long and very light (less than 85g). Next time, stop me if I start knitting long rectangular things. I'm sure that I would had finished it sooner, if I didn't keep stopping to meansure the progress. (Whaddaya mean, I knit all night and gained ONLY 4 inches!)

You can see how 'see through' it is. Yes, she's light, but the angora gives her warmth. She's also fine enough to wear as a scarf.

Here is the side edge.

This is the very sweet picot edge, which I blocked to give it a more picot-y feel.

Blocking was another experience, as it was touch and go, whether I had to go get another sheet.

Of course, the stole got to enjoy the view of the garden beside the hydrangea. Yes my lawn is brown ( in fact browner than when this picture was taken. ). Its been hot here and while there isn't a hose pipe ban, I've been far too pre-occupied to remember to water me lawn.
