Mystery Stole 3 is coming along nicely. I have a few mistakes… although what look like mistakes in this picture along the eyelet edging are really just a results of a poor, speedy blocking job on bicycle spokes so I could get a picture.
Yes, bicycle spokes…. it’s what I had handy.
I’m sure if you want, you can find the mistakes, but I’m not gonna point them out!
I especially love the beads. I wasn’t going to use beads, but Kaity talked me into it, and I’m glad she did. I’m loving this pattern. It looks very old-fashioned to me. It reminds me of my Grandma for some reason.
Lilly walked in one day just after I had started the shawl and said, “Oooh, who’s knitting this for me?!” She’s always hoping whatever someone is knitting is for her… since she doesn’t knit…, just wants to be knit FOR. The funny thing was, I had already planned to surprise her by offering her the shawl when it was finished anyway….
… so I let her in on the Mystery.

So pretty – and no, I don’t see any mistakes. I joined up just under the wire – I’m on row 117. I was hoping to finish before Clue 3 came out, but it’s not looking good. Love the bicycle spoke blocking wire idea!!
gorgeous!!
It’s looking good! I can’t see the mistakes either. I’m sure mine has some somewhere, but if I ever find any I’m just going to blissfully ignore them.
It reminds you of Grandma because it looks like a bedspread in her house. It’s really pretty. I can’t wait to see Lil modeling it!
It’s beautiful and looks mistake-free to me! Lily will sure have a very wonderful gift!
It’s looking lovely! I bet Lilly is excited!
Lynda – It is just gorgeous. I have some mistakes in mine also, and I am taking a page from the Amish – who purposely put mistakes in the quilts they made – the mistake left the glory to our Creator, who alone is perfect. Your stole is absolutely beautiful!! I am not quite as far as you – I have not finished the first chart yet. I need to knit faster!!
Very, very beautiful! The beads look very pretty with your yarn choice.
I have had my share of mistakes too. Just a part of lace knitting I guess!
it’s pure art!
Isn’t it great when you can knit the perfect thing for the perfect person?
Your mystery stole is beautiful. You are so creative to think of bicycle spokes!
It looks great! I don’t see any mistakes…
Coming along nicely. I’m knitting mine in black. I love also.
It’s a beauty!
Lynda what is the name of those meds to prevent sea sickness? I’m going on my dad’s boat tomorrow and I to get some. Thanks
I definitely wish I would’ve had Kaity around when I started my stole. I decided to forgo the beads which I’m regretting now. Oh well.
Mistakes? No way!
Absolutely gorgeous Lynda!!!
Hi Lynda,
Beautiful mystery stole! I can hardly wait to see how it turns out. I haven’t comment in a veeeeeeery long time because I gave up on my old dial-up connection. Now that I have high speed, I am back. I just started a new blog. You can find me at peaceharmonycleanhouse.blogspot.com.
The shawl si so beautiful. The white color really lets the beads stand out. Now I am banging my head for not signing up. I will know better next year.
It’s beautiful! I’m doing the mystery shawl 3, too, in an ivory merino. I am on row 161 now, so I’m still on clue 3. I hope I can catch up during the two weeks. What beads are you using? Are they different colors or is that the way the light reflects off them. They are really pretty. Mine are clear rainbow and look like dewdrops. God bless!
