It's A Wrap....Or a Skydive Stole

By -



I really loved knitting this Stole. 
Cabin Fever Knits pattern. 
One row repeat. 
Lace....(Squeal....I finally learned my second lace pattern) 
I used Jitterbug sock yarn in beige for the stole and cream for the fringe.  The pattern does not call for fringe, but I wanted some fringe. 
Love me some fringe. 
I gave it a lovely little bath in a basin and opened it up on towels to block it.  No pins, just a bit of shaping and it worked. 
The lace really opened up. 

Neutrality...neutrals....let's call it quietly pretty. 

This baby is all mine.
I see myself in it in the Outerbanks with Al this summer as the nights get cool.  

Oh yeah, I've already cast on another. 
There is some happy knitting going on here....

I hope you are having some knit happiness today too!

I have been knitting lacy items more and scarves and shawls. I do have a throw on the needles for one of my sisters. It was to have been for her birthday that was a week ago. I have gotten behind on it. It is heavy and sort of cumbersome so hopefully she might have it for Christmas. I have knit this item before a few times. I really like the finished product it is just getting to the finished product that is sort of a pain.

That looks perfect for those chilly restaurants where they have the a/c turned down to fast-freeze!

Congrats on the beautiful finish! :-)

Ooh, ooh, ooh! It's gorgeous. I can see it going equally well with jeans or with a little black dress.

I never used to like fringe much, but these days I do. It's so swishy and fun. :)

Quietly pretty indeed! It looks great, and I love that fringe. It's neutral, but at the same time provides a lovely contrast. Damnit, Kathy, I might have to give this pattern a go, huh?

This shawl is lovely. I'm not a fringe person but yours looks lovely. I'm new to your blog. I'm recently retired, too, after 26 years in healthcare as a chaplain. I agree with your recent postings about nurses and nursing. You are under appreciated by most physicians but loved and valued by patients, family members and other colleagues like chaplains. I enjoy your blog.

I don't think you'll need it in NC in July.... maybe if we go to a restaurant or the movies if it rains!

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
