The Mystery Stole (in progress)
I fell behind on the Mystery Stole when the Harry Potter book came out. It wasn't so much that I didn't have time due to reading -- I flew through HP7 in a couple days -- but with two weeks off, I got out of the habit of working on the shawl. There was, after all, so much time!
Well, I really do want to finish it (it's lovely), so I got started again this week. I'm now finished up through Clue 4, and am ready to start on the short rows. I love short rows. :)
Yarn used: KnitPicks Bare Merino Lace Weight. Beads: My tube reads: "Toho 8T222 / 8/0 Triangle Copper". They are tiny triangular beads in a lovely dark brown metallic color.
The sheep modeling the shawl is Lily, one of the few dark brown sheep in my collection. (Most plush sheep are either white, beige, or cream... that general range. Even "black" sheep tend to be black, despite the fact that black sheep in the wild seem to be a dark brown themselves.) I got her many years ago, back at a store in Bloomington, IN that probably doesn't exist any longer (at the College Mall). Her name is not very dignified ("Li'l Trubbles") nor very apropos to the sheep, in my opinion. I mean, really. Does that look like a troublemaker to you?
