I finally blocked MS3.
A closeup of the wing.
If you look closely at the tips of the wing you can see the beads which add a very nice shimmer to the stole.
The stole being blocked with wires and pins.
It helped that a daughter’s room just got new carpeting.
I wanted to get a pic of stole being modeled, but the weather has been very dark and gray for me to get a decent shot.
To recap…
Pattern: Swan Lake by Melanie Gibbons
Yarn: Jagger Spun Zephyr Wool Silk, Colour Ebony
Needles: US#4, Addi Lace
I made it longer and used Beading Banshee’s variation (a border for the transition to the wing). I started last July and stopped because of indecision on how to finish. I revisited the project last month and decided to try the wing. I am very happy with the finished stole.
It’s been a cold and cloudy summer.
It poured down rain at my son’s last soccer game, he was half frozen even thought he played the whole game. I had to get him some long sleeved Under Armor and gloves for tonight’s game since it’s colder (48F) and still raining. None of my kids for the past 9 summers have had to wear extra gear to keep them warm during a soccer game.
Oh summer, where for art thou summer?

Beautiful!
I think summer is here in Richmond. All of it. From everywhere.

Gorgeous stole! Just beautiful – I really love it in black. Wow – brrr – 48 degrees? That’s cold! I hope summer comes back to you!

Lovely shawl! That lace looks so delicate.
The less said about the weather the better, I think, or I’ll lapse into a full blown whine.
(And they said today was supposed to be sunny… ha!)
