At Last

At last I have finished hint 2 of the Stole Knit a long.

I am not too keen my stole compared to others , mybe its the yarn I am using, or maybe I should dye the stole when it is finished.

I hope this KAL will motivate me to finish it though, I have a list of UFO's (thats un-finished objects Mother if you are reading this, just in case you think I am going totally crazy)

Now on to Hint 3, and if I get a move on I maight catch up before the next hint is up.

More Time Please

Can some one put the clock back so that I can catch up!

Is it just a week ago that I put up my last message.

I have not finished hint 2 of the knit along that I am doing.

I just started it yesterday and (pause)if I work at it all the rest of today -and not have any customers in to buy yarn and stuff,and tonight -and not go out for a bar meal with my sisters -and let the B&B guests look after themselves.I might just get it finished and go on to hint 3 -watch this oooooooops A few people came in and still no work done, oooops the phone, can I hibernate... space.

I had to knit a cashmere scarf for somebody, and she is still to come in and pick it up, thought I would take a couple of photos, saw something similar on Revalry----Did I tell you that I got an invite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its all a bit bamboozeling. I think I need help...

Finished Hint 1 SotS

Well, despite, rows 71 to 79 on the chart,
(I had to take them back about 1000,000 times),I have eventually finished Hint 1 on the Stole KAL.
My yarn is cashmere and silk 2ply with a similar coloured bead.
I am enjoing doing it, thats when I don't get too cross eyed.

Now on to hint 2, No pressure!!!

Just thought I would show you a few of the throws I bought last Thursday, I knoww it has taken me this long to put them up here, I got about 60 different throws, all made in the borders and absolutely lovely, After I have mastered knitting,( do you ever master knitting?) I want to weave!

A number of years ago I sold , in my shop in Ireland, Philipa Turnbulls Crewel Work Kits.My little coz started to do the same one as me, and she emailed me a piture, it hasn't been made into a cushion yet but is absolutely fabulous. mine? I am ashamed to say -despite teaching Crewel Work - is no more than 1/4 done, maybe in another few years it will be finished.
She also sent me these photos of her latest project, she is one clever lass, She is also selling these and Fimo figures on Ebay.


I have done another swatch for SotS with yo done the correct way, All I need to do now is work out how to do the lace cast off, then I will be all set to start the stole.
