So much life has been lived since I began this stole. The mystery was my initial motivation….knitting from a pattern received in pieces. Other knitters finished the project quickly and the mystery was solved! No worries. Although I put it aside for many months-of-other-projects, the lure of the lace called me back. I found myself wondering what/who I was making this for. Perhaps my daughter’s sometime in the far future wedding? For me to wear to a holiday party? It’s blocking and I am still wondering how best to enjoy this beautiful piece of work designed by Melanie Gibbons. Thank you Melanie for many lovely hours of relaxation!
