Who it was March since my last post. Whoops, time did fly this summer.
I finished the Honeybee Stole - designed by Anne Hanson
This was a great knit, and it did fly along when I was actually knitting it - it got put aside for other projects quite often. The yarn has a story behind it which starts with my first (and only) foray into natural dyeing, followed by overdyeing with green acid dye. I loved the affect that the gold undertones had on the resulting yarn. As the yarn was mordanted with copper, the feel of the yarn is not as soft as when I first purchased it. However, I think I will use this stole this coming fall and winter.
This stole has lace patterning on both sides, which did slow me done some until I got the hang of it. - Pointy needles are needed.
