Since I don't like to color knit, this is my way of getting a similar type of effect. I can't wait to see this one blocked though it's going to take up a lot of floor space not to mention pins and blocking wire. I always mean to keep my shawls, but they make such great gifts that you never really know what will stay and what will go. I'd like to wear this or the Lyra to Stitches West 2008 though. I've not yet decided which. Maybe I'll bring both and switch half way through?Lacefreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291336363387079445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259281.post-4574805668297449622007-12-12T05:50:00.000-08:002007-12-12T05:50:00.000-08:00Dear diana,I'm a sucker for color and these really...Dear diana,<BR/><BR/>I'm a sucker for color and these really are well suited to knitting at this time of year. However, I've knit enough lace to find that not all patterns or varigated yarns look well together. At least not to me.

I'm less and less in love with shifting colors but this time it came out pretty well. I dislike the corners on this stole so I'm just going to try to "ease" my way around the corners though I may have already kinda of screwed up. I'm not about to rip out all that edging those.
