Inspiration Stole

[nicolep]

I had the pleasure of testing this stole. Now that it has been published, I can show it off to you all. It was published in the Winter 2011 Interweave Crochet magazine. I never have managed to block it...I'm a little lazy when it comes to those sorts of things. I'll do it soon though because I'll definitely want to wear it this spring. Thanks for looking everyone.

Wow! That's wonderful. If you don't mind me asking, how long did that take to make?

Thank you!

 

Um....I don't really remember. It's made with lace weight yarn so it's slow going. If I had to guess, I'd say between 20 and 25 hours. The center went fairly quick, but it took almost 3 hours to get around the edges once I got to that part.

RoseRed - I will post more pictures once it's blocked. I need some more foam matts before I can do so. I haven't blocked anything this long before. I'm being lazy about picking them up.

It's lace-weight yarn. The green is Classic Elite Yarns, Silky Alpaca Lace, the color is #2481 - Misty Meadow. The fiber content is 70% baby alpaca, 30% silk. The white is JaggerSpun Zephyr Super Fine Merino (100% Australian Merino Wool). I have long since lost the label to the JaggerSpun so I'm not sure on the color number.
