Notes

It’s done, done done!!!
And washed and flat dryed and on my shoulder today! I did not block it because I had no block wires and no time for thread blocking…
The first cashmere object in my life!
I have refined theending of the clue 4 to give a prettier back.
I love this stole/big scarf.


some details:
- Total weight washed with beads: 115 gr
I used about 10 gr beads, so the total weight of the stole must be about 105 gr of cashmere!
- Needles: Knit picks Options. I love love them. But one joint broke (unglue). I managed to glue back, not a stitch losen, but I worry a bit for the future of those needles. Anyway I love knitting with them.


I flinched in front of the assymetry. (My sister is a baroque singer and I hope to give it to her for Christmas. If she is not allergic to cashmere. If she is, all the better for me: I’ll keep it! ETA: she pretends she is allergic to all animals and cashmere itches! So I kept it, and wore it a lot as a scarf this winter. I love it.)
Mine is going to be symmetrical, but I love, love the wing and plan to make a symmetrical winged too!
