Ok, I must come clean. A couple of years ago I joined the monthly dishcloth club and become addicted to kntting "mysteries". Then I joined the bookmark club and the fun continued. Now, since the MS3 I think it has become an obsession :o). I heard about the Secret of the Stole being organized by The Nautical Knitter and just had to join. All of this just to justify that I bought more yarn and started a new project even though my WIP's number in the double digits!!!
So ..... we go from this:
Knit Picks Shadow
Colorway: Jewels
To this - using my very own swift and ball winder. Such a joy!
To this!! I knit this swatch using US size 3 needles and #11 silver seed beads that did not show up very well in this photo but stand out quite nicely in person. I am ready for lift off!!! :o)

woohoo! congrats on getting your swatch done. thanks for the beading wire tip... my local craft store was sold out of the #14 hooks (maybe there are a lot of SoS knitters in my town?), so I'll give that a whirl!
I love that color blue!!
Your stole is going to be beautiful in this color. Your swatch looks fantastic too!
Thanks for your comment on my blog...I think your stole will be gorgeous in this color blue! Especially with silver beads...wow!! I can't wait to get started..
Lovin the color! I chose the KP Lost Lake, size 4 needles. Your swatch looks so much more lacy than mine. Very nice, cannot wait to see the finsihed Stole. also, perhaps I did not read down far enough, where did you get your swift and winder? :0)
Such a beautiful color is that Shadow blue! Your stole is going to be just gorgeous. I'm envious of your skill with the skinny delicate stuff - I'll enjoy watching your stole come to full size! (Thanks also for your encouragement on my blog!)
Thank-you for your comment about my SoS stole. I love the color of your yarn! Can't wait to see your stole.
